Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 It can only benefit to look at oneself as one is assuming something about someone else, or accusing them, due to the mirror / projection tendency.

Good luck battening the hatches, and have a great weekend. MAV , "Devi Bhakta" <devi_bhakta> wrote: > > Hey MAV: > > Okay, I yield, my friend.
