[stylist] Off-Topic Discussions

[PAUL BAVER]

Ok calm down, please don't get on the rampage again, or is it full Moon, I 
guess I just can't be mad about everything that I can't do anything about, 
it's a N.Y.C. problem, so now I'm addressing something that I can't do 
anything about anyhow. Paul E Baver
