Either way, You're Allowed. --oTTo-- I hear you can put teabags (cooled) on your eyes to reduce puffiness. Follow with chilled cucumber slices. Just reporting....never actually tried it. |

Here is a primer on the language of Internet. http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm Read the bottom of that page for some additional tips. [Michael] No, it's not a tea group for this thread. The thread gathered the trolls from a list of groups, some composed solely of trolls. The best way for us at rfdt to make it go away is to *not* post to it. (I've removed the other groups from this post so it goes only to rfdt people.) |

Kevin S. Wilson mumbled something about::
Also, please be respectful of others and DON'T CROSSPOST KEVIN. My computer does it automatically. Mine does as well, and my name isn't even Kevin -- "...The job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey |

Seems VERY untypical of the Usernet (tm). I'm hoping they are over their tantrums and have paused a while to grow up. That's some long pause. This is a tea group isn't it? And not a feminine hygeine discussion. I'm not in a chat room about tea. BTW, do you know of a chat room about feminine hygeine? No doubt. I was totally repulsed when that guy made some post about the tablespoon full of poop he discovered in his undergarments.
