Re: Here we go again!

Athena1, first I am going to ask you to leave this whole crappy thing behind you. Some of us here got off on the wrong foot and it's best for everyone to forget it.

Just finished reading the thread here, seem's like things got alittle ugly fer awhile, I'am sure everyone knows it happens from time to time, but from what I hear DAN's THE MAN, sure he'll have you shooting bottle caps in no-time.
