Really? I just thought you were a delusional Raider fan. You're from
Colorado if your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is
beating the **** out of the Raiders. Bill Romanowski is another good
example.

Dumbass -


Have Spotted ****'s mountains jerseys been taken off the books?

I doubt it.

Dusty, could we possibly persuade you to use a news client that handles
attributions properly? There's a good chap.

No, I don't give a damn about football in any way, but even less of a damn about
the Raiders. From what I've seen, Raiders fans are why a lot of people hate the
Raiders. There was a family friend (a teacher, mind you, so you'd like to think there
should be a bit of rationality going on) who would go into a huge funk if the Raiders
lost - "Now my whole week is ruined!" And the sad part? It really was ruined.

Um, I pre-apologized.

When I read it, my non-conventional quoting style seemed to be very
understandable.

Especially if one were following the thread.

Different isn't easy sometimes, I realize.

An exception to my usual careful attribution-ing.
