Alright, now bare with me here.

I kid you not, this yahoo site is actually mine. I only used pink and purple to attract members, although I must admit, it's not working very well. I only have 4...

Why has my font changed in those last couple of sentences?

All I did was type it in notepad, spell check it in word and then paste it here. Oh well, not important. Heh....
