Nemesis
19-09-2003, 12:51
OK, OK I hear you, but I can't please all of the people all of the time.

If I post during the morning, late risers (ooeerr):eek: get the hump

If I post during the day, the night owls get the hump

Suggestion : I'll post about 11:00 AM, how's that ??

P.S. I'm away next Friday, so It'll be Thurs instead :D
