I thought Weeks had a few serious logic problems, as well.Octopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948127593611773731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-22034721378318237392008-10-17T21:46:00.000-07:002008-10-17T21:46:00.000-07:00Miko, you've been silent for a while, I like the n...Miko, you've been silent for a while, I like the new avatar! Nice review, Landshark.
