Hahahaha....sometimes it gets difficult knowing what is truth and what is a
piece of joke thrown around over here. Guys are so humorous with their wit
so much so that when I heard about tele-text and the M-1, I was gullible
enough to take it all in!!! But I'll get there eventually once more and more
people like you post their history lessons to me. I'm dead interested
because this List is formidable and I'm prepared to believe that this is the
most pervasive and largest of its type on the net. Someone out there can
either substantiate that or correct me. Either way is fine. I just want to
know.
Thanks Garth. Your information is invaluable.
