Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hi guys, I thought that was police radio code, and the list certainly looks like it.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Wim Borsboom [aurasphere] Saturday, May 26, 2001 10:34 AM Ten Four Buddy Dear Harsha: You asked (Did you want to change the subject or something?): __ Not at all Sri Wimji. You were saying that you are fully functional and wished to demonstrate it (or were ready to prove it). I don't know who challenged you in this regard but I simply wanted to assure you that proof was not required among friends on these matters (or even asked for). We will just take your word for it. Here in this Satsangha we respect and trust each other. Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
