I know I've created at least 10........largely in part due to AD banning me for relentlessly unleashing on commentors over and over again. I've been nice since then. :)
I am not really a newbie here... I just dont say much and for all this time Ive been reading and not typing. But Ive been in after dawn since 2001 and am just P.O. that this happened with Yahoo.
the articles I get from this ( site )link are fascinating. I loved the 1 about Mars since my kid works for NASA. we are going there and sooner than you think. but a spaceship with 100 people on board ?? wow... that guy sure must have the $ and gonna have ALOT of rocket fuel !
anyways...its a dam shame when you are the last to be told your getting screwed. but thats the way it is now.
