Then please enjoy making fun of everyone who is fat from this point forward. I've wasted enough time on you. I assume that you have a new role as "Official List Spell Checker"? I look forward to seeing continued corrections in your newly self-appointed role. It was certainly a scathing criticism of what I posted. That spelling error certainly refutes anything I have to say just as much as Brads or Moores weight has anything to do with their opinions. At least you are consistent.
