hey ya'll
I have been one of the more silent members on this
list for about 2 years.
I have NEVER RANTED OR RAVEd ON ANY EMAIL ON THIS
LIST.
why can't other people do the same.. In the last 2
years there has been many people who said things that
I wanted to comment on, but instead I deleted the
email.. Much more efficient than B at tch@n..
why can't people just shake things off..
if he believes this let him do so. ignorance,
stupidity or even if it is the truth, why do you care?
It's not like it was directed personally at you..
All ranting does is take up space in everyones inbox.
Do you really think that ranting on this current issue
changed the guy's mind in any way. NO!!!
you solved what?????? Nada!@!
live and let live.
Stephen G.
P.S.
if you are going to b at tch at some one for something
than email him directly.. Why send it to the list
just so it can go to all of our boxes.
