Howdy y'all, It is apparent that buymovieposters is somewhat aggrieved and wished to stand beside a friend during the "post-Dracula-fallout". I have no problem with that ... that is what friends are for ... BUT ... if one is willing to stand up and be counted as a friend ... please do so without the benefit of anonymity. If buymovieposters is not willing to leave his/her real name at the end of any messages, is that the mark of a dear friend or ... ? ad
