It was there but I get so much mail that it is hard to keep up with, |
81 |
plus I'm doing several other things too. I'm not just talking about |
82 |
spam either. I'm on about 20 forums, several lists etc etc etc. Add in |
83 |
that my Mozilla is doing some strange stuff with the order in my box. |
84 |
I'm not sure what is going on. Sometimes I get mail that is old |
85 |
compared to what I already have. Maybe it's my ISP's mailserver or |
86 |
something. < shrugs > |

You have a point but I'm not the only one that top posts. Like I said |
89 |
earlier we need one way that everybody has to use so everybody knows |
90 |
what to expect. Imagine getting in a car and having the brake and gas |
91 |
pedal switched. I can get used to either way myself. |
92 |
|
93 |
We are NOT flaming. I find it funny in a way. Others may flame, I'm |
94 |
not. I state my views and carry on. My girlfriend likes that too. She |
95 |
knows she can tell me anything and I'm OK as long as she is not hurt or |
96 |
threatened, then someone else has a problem, about 160 lbs of kick butt |
97 |
I might add. I'm super protective when it comes to her. She only |
98 |
weighs about 95 lbs. O_O She's eats good though. Her daughter is |
99 |
slender too. |

Hope you don't think I'm mad. I'm to busy laughing. LOL Hope you |
102 |
aren't either. |
