Isn't this just so absolutely typical. I subscribed ten minutes after I
read the email. Haven't you ever heard of figure of speech? Guess not.
You know, maybe some one out there should get a personality. Or at very
least a sense of humor.
Either that or maybe I should drop mine to come down to your level so that
everything I say will be boring, to the exact point, no flavor, no
interest, nothing but perfect q&a. In fact, I will.
Help me some one!
