Thank you for sticking up for me, strat81.

If you had looked at the date on my letter, you would see there hasn't been enough time for a response. Be more careful with your facts in the future. And also with your spelling. It's tattletale. And what's with your stooping to that type of statement? Hardly the high road. Other posters...

I just got back from NJ (I live right across the river in Philadelphia) after visiting my relatives for a family function. While the opportunity to visit my relatives makes it worth the trip, I always feel I have to take a shower when I get home to symbolicly wash off the filth of...
