hmmm...interesting use of repetion there, jerry. you should have noted long
ago that all here consider your posts (all of them) as the repetion of
stupidity and suitable only for the waste bin. at least in your posts,
however, the wording changes.
don't worry about our immunity to your daft repetitions. you keep working
that copy/paste thing you've got going on. at least this time, you're
copying your own material...which is probably why i'm not very amuzed.
<crickets *still* chirping>
learn to read yet?
