[pct-l] enough is enough

[dsaufley at sprynet.com]

Roni,

Thanks for being your un-PC, completely unabridged, no-holds-barred self.  I wouldn't expect anything less from you, and would be disappointed if you gave anything or anyone a break (myself included).  

Looking forward to your special brand of honesty when you come through on your way north this year. I'm toughening up my skin with sand paper. 

L-Rod

>  I'm tired Yogi possie on this list,  that think that because they were helped by her guidbook and advice , they have to vehemently defend her when she acts as a fool on April 1st.
