Must not read cuz we read it before, cuz. Inbreeding getting you ignosthicks fired up. You go cover now before market goes up. Thanks for your "he's behind the grassee knoll" approach to flogging. I can't bear to see you negstars worried about your "investment" going up. This is what Christmas does to you. If I were Peter, I would not have responded to you "know it all's" who can't seem to find the right angle for your agenda. Or your "concern" for newbees. Cover your naked shorts and fire the whole bunch there on the payroll. As we can tell for a while, you serve us shareholders no service but to regret or sell. How does that help you? Why do want lower pricing which you are pushing for?
Well goodnite and sweet SLJB dreams.
This my op. Don't like, sorry. Do, jolly!
