I for one would appreciate not viewing requests for money! I know that Uncle Sam is taking from us MORE than _IT_ deserves, but that is up to the individual! But, that in its self, does _NOT_ imply that anyone is any worse off than the average person!

Some crap about the value of talk.bizarre and other frothing at the mouth >-- > "Notitiae gratia notitiarum" > jim (uunet!actnyc!jsb) Ok, folks. I've said it before. I'll say it again. talk.bizarre has no business being cross-posted to rec.nude. Why does this stuff keep getting posted here ? I mean, I know why - its because some people are TOO FARGING LAZY TO EDIT THEIR DISTRIBUTION LINE. If it doesn't have to do with rec.nude issues then please post elsewhere !!! Steve Hyland SAIC
