You will not find this level of discussion anywhere else. Once you learn your way around the place, you'll learn more on RSS than you ever will anywhere else on the net. > > >

I could be wrong Why do you legitimize the thugishness of people who demonize other posters by answering their posts since you are supposed to be nice, non-controversial, and all that jazz? |
