Well I missed this one. Someone send the original post, please to
scorpiofang(AT)juno.com Uh what crap are we referring to. I
thought this was an information list, not a place for argument. I'm
sure each of us does things differently. In my eyes, I don't play
golf, everyone is equal, different and individual. This is not
a restaurant for food fights. If it is, I'm the pea-flipper. Send me
nasty notes. I love it when people talk dirty, LOL. If its too clean,
I feel like Walt Disney came back from the dead.
