I refuse to take refuge in "ignore" and "hide". Very lame. Pretzel_Warrior Aug 2013 #55

You obviously do not know of just not seeing nadinbrzezinski Aug 2013 #60

no....it is just to point out that DU could be used for so much more than rehashing details about Pretzel_Warrior Aug 2013 #63

It is clear to me that is your opinion nadinbrzezinski Aug 2013 #65

or I can just comment on how old it is getting as one way of expressing myself Pretzel_Warrior Aug 2013 #67

So will anyone question Catherina's obsession as they did Prosense? KittyWampus Aug 2013 #11

How would you have suggested? (Hong Kong, not China) n/t Catherina Aug 2013 #64

Give the information to a publication like Wired or Rolling Stones magazine. Rex Aug 2013 #66
