Jeremy and all,
You've got your whiners that claim there's no decent topics(but they
never post). You've got your whiners that claim its only a few people
posting, (but they never post) You've new people on the list that have
no understanding of legacy issues... whiners everywhere.
We at Team Thicko (this is a sizable group) said screw it, and got our
own list.
WST
Team Thicko Flounder
No Whining
(Where sexual harrassment is an artform, not a crime. Insults, public
ridicule, potty mouth words, off car topics... you name it. JUST NO
WHINING!)
PS to Gary Speckman... I said whining not winning... not meant as a dig
(yeah right!)
