Raymond, Please TRY and reply with less philosophical stuff. I'm just a
young kid who can't grasps free market stuff...
My stand is simple. elvin.net, rpm.mdk.org, etc.. are all resources I've
pooled for the local community. Till SLP get's fully up and going. I try
my best to help everyone. I've yet to see SLP up and going. Someone's
gotta do it.
I'm taking it seriously coz I feel that your are taking it very personally
against me. Either that or i'm the one doing all the hosting and u've no
one else to shoot at.
tsktsk..
Elvin
