Thanks, Buck. By the way, do you agree with Yifu that people in the TMO are the worst offenders? Offenders of what, I wondered. He doesn't give any specific examples of which or how often an entire group of individuals offend behavioral rasayans but proclaims that they do. Isn't that like saying all Muslims are terrorists who hide bombs in their underwear? Now I don't have anything against Muslims, some of my best friends are Muslims...but underwear, really? > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "raunchydog" <raunchydog@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Speaking the sweet truth is a behavioral rasayana.
