Just for the record Misa I did contribute something useful I got people to
send me e-mails great response I have only been getting one e-mail a week
now all the world wants to have a word.I never said my views were so
interesting and personal (your words) it was just the time I grew up with
and not a bandwagon so many people seem to jump on these days. Whatever
happened to freedom of speech. I didn't mean to offend or upset anyone sorry
if I did. Oh your reply sent 2.43 AM was you up late thinking of something
interesting to send out via e-mail to modlist Sorry if you was.
