Ok, no more coffee for me. Testosterone levels exceeding safety margins. R-cortex reacting in reptilian survival mode.
I apologize for my overreacting to Dustin's misunderstanding of my disconflabulation of written English. What I think about all this: 1.

Last human standing wins. First round: me and Dustin's mom. John Hebert --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2001-10-10 at 22:44, John Hebert wrote: > > And my reply was to Jerald.
