The only thing that you left out was "IMHO" which can be shortened to "IMO" for absolute accuracy. - Audiophilander 07:07:03 01/10/04 (6)

Well, enough is enough: letÂ´s call a spade a spade - orejones 09:23:45 01/10/04 (4)

Racism? Be more specific; it must be VERY deep "under" because I only see the "lying" part. - Audiophilander 09:33:21 01/08/04 (37)
