Re: Unlocking Vista 15P3 (Monitronics Boards)

Selfish! Go a head and just tell me and let me post it. Give me a chance to
be a target too. You've been hogging all the court house fun lately. I want
relive all the joy I had in years past with the legal system. What would it
be like to do it all just one more time? The pure excitement of getting
served legal papers every time I turn around, and being followed by private
investigators and their ilk. The joys of the discovery process, having all
your financial records subpoenaed. Staying in a lawyer's office hour after
hour and thinking of how the bill is climbing higher and higher. Yes, that
is the best time anyone can have for certain. You need to share the chance
to experience it all a little more generously.
