Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Speaking for me and whoever else wants to say " amen " We're groovin' on you too, Clay. :-) I for one never thought you weren't doing what you could. Your face is on the first page of the a2p2 and that's a pretty big thing. Your effort that is, not your face.

Yeah. > :-) > I for one never thought you weren't doing what you could. Your face > is on the first page of the a2p2 and that's a pretty big thing. > Your effort that is, not your face. <grin> Thing is, also, in reference to what Clay said about what he had and had not experienced, I've found that it's usually not all that productive to compare that kind of thing. But I don't know how to say that with the proper amount of detail because it's late at night and I'm not coherent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Uh, " amen " ? And agree re the comparative/competitive bad experiences and can't explain it either.

(and oh yes, would have me point out here that I *am* kidding) truth be told, I also cannot do what they do sadly, there was a time I could but I believe that time has past now I'll just spread their words and wish 'that I had said that' -jypsy ________________________________ Ooops....Wrong Planet!
