Hey Tater, this is EEEEEEEEEEEECHOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I have to say I saw
your posts in that other group, very pretty girl, Bluejeannes was it?
I'm no expert on autoposters, but I have tried most of the different
ver.'s of PP2K and its only my personal opinion that PP2K jw ver. is
the best for me. The only info I have to add to the subject line is ,
as you can see in the 6 Ola posts that I did, Olcia, if I wanted to
add Pawel Polskup I also would have done that , just need more hard
evidense that that is in fact hir real name, V@rtex has informed me
that he just used that name as a fake name, on the other hand DJ from
the Netherlands, who sent me the cd with all the missing photos on it
is sure that his real name is Polskuk, so go figure.
As far as connections that suck go, I bet I"ve got you beat. I'm
finally going to broadband, will be changing to AT&T 6meg service at
the end of this month, or sometime next month, they are having a great
deal going on right now so it will probably be this month. But I'll
still have nothing to post, so I will probably just lurk unless I feel
I have some useful help for a regular and right now, souse seems to be
the only regular.
Thanks again for your posts in the other group, take
care........................EH
