michaelgreen,I do not think you used "big conspiracy", but that is how it feels reading your thoughts about HEA. Like some monster decided to fool everyone and started doing things to prepare for a scam that would follow. Kind of like detaching po...

geoffkait,Your last post appears to be worth thinking about. Emphasis on word "appears".Those two statements are not contradictory. They are so removed from reality that they are really not funny anymore.Have you ever gotten a chance to consider t...
