thanks for your attempt at helping me, but a couple of points:

Loso, man, I don't doubt your story. A couple of points though:

By rebutting my claim that "CP is dead," you might be giving a false hope to other newbies like me. Do I have to put one hand on...

Guys,

I can confirm what's been reported here about CP a few posts down:

It's over. This place is dead and buried. Done. An expired parrot.

passin,

you and i are far from disagreement.

i agree completely and utterly that the patriot act, in combination with other such legislation, has gutted the us constitution.

giotto,

Giotto,

Thanks for understanding.
