OK, OK, so this is my first posting Bluesman finally wore me down. Having to listen to him talk about this board for the last few months will drive anyone insane. YES, I know bluesman. We work together and I often sit net to him for twelve hours at a time. Finally, boredom and bluesman wore me down and I am succumbing to the great addiction. I have yet to meet Lucretia but, I have spoken to her on the phone and she seems great. Bluesman loves her and so you know she is cool. Lucretia, someday we will meet!!! Everyone, please be nice to me…… 🙂 ---

Just like real dope, the first one’s free. The next post costs you $100. And then you start hocking grandma’s heirlooms. Pretty soon, you are jonesing for a post fix. You meet people on dark threads and stop showering in the morning. You begin to cry for no reason. Hey, allow me to welcome you to the boards! ---
