but I didn't realise that it was illegal to use gif. Thank goodness I won't have to convert them all to jpg. There's a few million of them. Stick, thine posts bring light to mine eyes, tingles to my loins. Yea, each moment I sit, my monitor before me, waiting, yearning, needing your prose to make the moment complete. 06/19/2003 09:43:11 AM EST (>2.

I mean hell, if the copyright to Mickey Mouse can be extended then there's no way they'd let a patent quietly die. 06/19/2003 05:22:31 PM EST (>3. 06/19/2003 07:06:21 PM EST (>1. 06/19/2003 10:03:41 PM EST (>4.
