I'm going to punch you in the ribs really hard if I ever meet you. I |
| 38 |
count on a few people in this project and you are one of them. I'm |
| 39 |
really disappointed you are rolling out on us without no for warning. I |
| 40 |
can understand your frustration and all but I expected and assumed you |
| 41 |
had big balls.. None the less. I wish you the best in your future |
| 42 |
endeavors. |
