History repeats itself...?

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

Sometimes the best thing for a friend and I think we are all for the
most part here, friends... is to hear that you will stand by them.
Better than that is being honest to that same friend when they are
wrong.

Just a general statement.  This isn't exactly a jury of peers but it's
close enough.

Another general statement... Personally I would like a massage...


...with a happy ending.  (sorry Navy humor)

Ok dead horse beaten.  (puts away soapbox)
