Please everyone, drop this!!! I don't know about you, but I get far too many emails as it is. Just use this forum as intended and keep the superfluous emails out.

Get out of the house, go to the beach, lake or other hot weather respite... -----Original Message----- From: Dakota Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 8:20 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: BOOBIES!
