to tell you the truth...it is uncalled for. And to boot, I can't help but
wonder what this person is like in real life, if he/she can't do his/her
hobby even remotely nice. Heaven forbid this person works in retail.

P.S. Anyone see anything on the news about Fort Zumwalt South High? Anyone
with students at South High?
