Kebba,
Why are you always Angry,? C"mon slow down brother and take it easy. You
always take things too personal and serious. Remember that you are sharing
the forum with people. This tells a lot about you. Take a break or a
vacation and stay away from your PC if you have one.
Go enjoy yourself.
EB.
