Even if it was true, you can't state such things if you can't spell or use proper capitalization. Troll post. *sigh*

I use CP/M, you insensitive clod!
Yeah that's right, it's sarcasm. Fucking moron.
Enough is enough! I can't take any more of this animal mistreatment! Call the SPCA; call the Friends of Animals; call the gorilla a lawyer!

Hehm, and here I thought Seattle's problems were a combination of rain, fat women, and bleeding-heart sickos.
I, too, am glad to be out of Seattle. I don't know what ever possessed me in the first place to live there. Dumbest thing I've ever done, moving there was.

World domination comes to mind.
