I truly appreciate the advice. Chev posted "Make Me" in a repost
group (THANK YOU SIR!) and you both have kicked my rear off high
center. I am going to learn to use NZBs. I've got a couple of the
"Make Me" NZBs but my deadly disease (procrastination) has always
gotten in the way. Maybe now I won't have to whine like a little
beyotch about a few others I've missed.
Thanks to both of you. Love you! In a totally non-gay way. ;)
