Dear Xeno, you have not addressed what my comment was about. You missed the context and the meaning. You missed the joke part. How did you do this? When was the last time you let out a great big belly laugh or found yourself with tears streaming down your face from laughing so hard that even your scalp hurt? I have already thought about writing positive posts to Barry and praising who he is and what he does irrespective of whether I believed what I was saying or not and I rejected the idea. I don't like to lie. > > Do you like ice cream? Yes indeedy I love vanilla Haagen Dazs. >
