Sorry to everyone for all this junk mail. I was having a private discussion with Al that he decided to make public. I try to have the courtesy to keep my private conversations private, as they should be. Hopefully this will be the last that you hear out of us (him). Again, sorry for wasting your time. We'll try to keep Al's cage locked up a little tighter from now on and I think we may need to increase his dosage a bit as well. -Erik AKimbrel@ao*.co* wrote: > 1 I'm not from Jersey Never lived or been there. 2 YOU e-mailed me privately, > I'll post the letter if you like. 3 blow it out > your @#$ till your nose bleeds. > Al > I guess that means your not happy, E.S.?
