Hi Mike,
Let me be clear. I did not cite your posting. I was
responding to Scott being pummeled.
Okay. I usually don't get into this type of string.
I just think Scott and Donnie do so much hard work and
deserve to be supported.
Again, I did not use your posting. Hope your have a
great holiday and that all is settled and nice in the
New Year. We ALL deserve it.
