My local net mag included a cool site: [http://www.xdude.com](http://www.xdude.com)

I liked the classy graphics and music. But, eh, maybe it’s just me. Bye.

Well… it was interesting, and I subscribed to see what else the guy has…

But to be perfectly honest, if all he has is long whines about banking policy I’d prefer that it was much shorter…😃

Hey, **TLD** – you guys still getting tax refund _cheques_?? Our IRD went into direct crediting bank accounts years ago!

Thank you for your posts, people.
