Michael,
do you really want to show off as the abusive liar you have been who has
stalked me from day one you wrote an 'answer' to a post of mine.
You better beware that you know nothing what so ever about me nor about the
things you discuss. As I told you back then - I don't accept any kind of
abuse from you! You better stick to your own subject which definitely isn't
to stalk and write personal abuse to anyone!!!!!
