Well, that and not saying anything that really attracts 'em anymore. So, step behind the curtain in the Flash Traffic/Extended Entry, and meet the PG-17C.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/a_little_more_explainin.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/a_little_more_explainin.html Thu, 16 Feb 2006 08:56:37 -0600 Yes, thanks.
