Carl 3 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 I hate retards that forward these emails around. It's great that over 85% of my incoming emails get filtered out by my antispam service but to have this kind of electronic indignity get passed my spam wall because some legitimised twat thinks I would find this an interesting read just pisses me off. f'ing tards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
