I think I get the general gist of your thread and it contains a different spin than most of the subscription threads. This one’s a bit of a toss-up. While the idea of honorary “last free message” is interesting, I gotta point out that the actual issue is pretty academic. Squeaking through the pipeline won’t be monitored, just a matter of chance. With that caveat, I’ll leave this open just for the more whaddyathink aspect. Veb ---

I come from a long line of proud vacillators. It would be an insult to me, my family, and my ancestors if you do not take this into consideration. Please…hmmph…such bourgeois behavoir :mad: ! ---

You, sir, are inexcusable. Your family and ancestors? Ptui, I spit. I’ll have you know that I come from such vague people they didn’t even _leave_ a line, just a blurry smudge. Nope, I’ve pondered this deeply, **Skipper**. You and all from whom you’ve sprung are just SOL. So there. Sheesh. This Stealth Mod stuff sucks. ---

Dear Sir (and I use the term “sir” graciously"), Slap, slap, across each facial cheek with my calf skinned glove. At dawn, sabers…you…you…bourgeois scum. 😉 ---
