In Reply to: mhk, you very well KNOW!! what my email addy is... posted by kelphead on June 07, 2001 at 14:05:53:
I would normally not post private e-mails that are sent to me but in light of your attack you have left me no choice..
Here is the complete e-mail Shereen sent to me and all I simply did was hit reply with my answer..
I am not computer savy enough to invent e-mail addresses nor am I capable of using computer lingo that speaks to undeliverability..
Shereen, once again, you made an attack that has nothing to do with diving...
Please feel free to click the e-mail address attached to her e-mail and you'll see I didn't invent ANYTHING...
