Crap! That means I have to touch every machine in the enterprise--again!Just two weeks after "touching 'em all" (not in the baseball sense) from the last round of worm patches.

I hope you don't mean it in the Biblical sense. I wouldn't want to see the offsprings from that...

Rejected submissions, part IV:

Yahoo is running this article which states that Universal Music Group - the world's largest record company - will begin to cut the prices of CDs currently priced between $16.98-$19.98 to just under $13 each. According to Universal, large retailers sell CDs for less than mfg sticker price, which should allow new CDs to be had for about $10 each. Some of Universal's artists are Limb Bizkit, t.A.T.u, U2, Weezer, etc. UMG is cutting list prices on compact discs by as much as 30 percent in an effort to boost sales that have been stymied by free online music-sharing services such as Kazaa.

So, quit yer beyotching.

Confusing forgetfullness and idiocy is a very silly thing.

You should try to understand the difference, you will get further in life. At least my website isn't an affront to all that is good and holy in the world. Tone down your colors, get off shitty weblog software, and learn English.
