>>MFNET (or whatever its called) I am sorry that many people do not care about (WHAT ITS CALL) that is OK. I think most of the people are in this status. Some people love WHAT ITS CALL. One person in this list the inventor of WHAT ITS CALL hate this product. It is better to hate WHAT ITS CALL than to "not care" about WHAT ITS CALL , because the distance between hate to love is shorter compared to the distance between "not care" and love. Hate WHAT ITS CALL sound like big suffering to WHAT ITS CALL inventor.
So, today I will pray to God to help him and make his life happier compared to what it is today. I am sorry that something which belong to me made the inventor of WHAT ITS CALL to fell so bad. One thing I can promise you. WHAT ITS CALL is not your real problem. I did not mention the real name of WHAT ITS CALL even one time just to not give another reason to WHAT ITS CALL to be sad.
