Simply confirms his analysis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929537540404873123.post-43147147236096829042008-10-04T23:46:00.000-06:002008-10-04T23:46:00.000-06:00Thank for the coverage... no MSM here.... sighgree...Thank for the coverage... no MSM here.... sigh<BR/><BR/>greengirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929537540404873123.post-39154263099802834362008-10-02T21:21:00.000-06:002008-10-02T21:21:00.000-06:00Thanks from me as well, ES.
