Mantana,
I'm surprised that you know me so well, after having just met tonight,
and full to the brim of nasty condescending observations, about my character
too.
Why don't you use some of that sparkling intellect of yours, and simply
answer my question. What is my crime? Asking few Questions? having a few
evil thoughts? And maybe you can do it for once without attacking someone's
character. Come on you can do it. If your nice I'll take you out for a
beer next time I'm in Columbus.
