to all, I appreciate the positive responses that many of you have sent. I am
certain that all of you have made an ass out of yourself at one time or another.
If you recall the aftermath of the situation, you really don't feel like jumping
into the fray immediatly afterwards. That is where I am at now, I have not
signed off yet and am sorting a few things out with myself. As the old saying
goes "once an asshole, always an asshole". I know every town used to have it's
town drunk, but does this list need........... well, you get my point. To those
of you who have asked to stay on my personal forwarding list, thank you for
staying, it's good to have you guys around. Be warned, I am sending out a photo
tonight that can cause bulimia. so don't eat until after it arrives, .....hell,
you may not eat at all. Brad
