Heh.
I rant a lot, and I have a very strong opinion. Sometimes y'all jive with me, and other times I get electronically stoned via comments. (By the way, Anonymous commenting is disabled for a reason).
There's no need to be mean when you have a difference of opinion, but when you're mean, I'm mean back. You get what you deserve. :)
This area I guess is like the love child of Oprah and Martha Stewart - all about life and organization.
