They say the internet is responsible for a recent revitalisation of literacy --- I'm not so sure, but I suppose as long as we keep talking and writing and reading there is always hope.<BR/><BR/>congratulations on blogs of note<BR/><BR/>masterymistery at <A HREF="http://cosmic-rapture.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">cosmic rapture</A>masterymisteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844831221838590812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31584548.post-3260777670912190042008-10-14T22:57:00.000-04:002008-10-14T22:57:00.000-04:00Me, again...I did not know you referenced Joseph-B...Me, again...<BR/>I did not know you referenced Joseph-Beth's in your post until I just reread it!
