VERY GOOD POST. Yes I have been SAVED !!!!  I have been turned from
the DARK-SIDE !!!!!   So I am now like a REFORMED ALCHOLIC. Anyway, I
agree with you, but untill others do & we all quit beating up on
everybody then the rules must stay. If I was allowed to post a SERVICE
AD every 2 weeks or so like anybody else could, I wouldnt have a
problem with it. But others before me have determined this is not to
be. So in ways I am going to continue to point out that their is
always a DOUBLE EDGE to any sword.......
