Well, hullo there, Jim
It's been awhile. I miss my old newsreader and am trying to get used
to google reader so don't check in as much as I used to. I find it too
much of a pain to follow the action and of course, still lots of crap
to wade through.
Good to see some familiar faces.... too bad Bass still likes poking
folks in the eye, first email I read was his lame use of his
detractors' names as verbs used in a derogatory manner. Quite pathetic
that he has to resort to that to market an internet drop-shipping
business.
