- Everyone who is doing this
- needs to stop this nonsense
- or I think I'll go crazy.
- Unless of course, I'm not
- getting the real message
- here. I think I know what
- all of you are doing and
- little things like this may
- really excite some of you,
- especially people with lots of time
- and nothing better to do.
- Damn! now look what you've done,
- you've got me doing it too!
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
