  54. An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a friend who has been doing a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me breakfast because I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this subject here on your internet site.

  55. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something regarding this.

  56. The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, however I actually believed you would have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you can fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.

  57. After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a means you are able to remove me from that service? Thank you.
