1) these are some of the longest most pointless posts i have ever had the misfortune of seeing...if ya'll would STOP trying to be cute and witty and concentrate on the content instead of the delivery...ya'll MIGHT get somewhere

2) I find it highly telling that neither Janey nor Boodah has deigned to respond to any of this

3) is the point to show the world, Expertise, that you are conservative? point taken, sir.

you allready know how it is, so why complain about it? go DO it, go make it...if you want to share the wealth that others have, go get it, and accept the consequnces of your actions...does this mean you might have to shit on some people...yeah. maybe cheat some people? yeah.
