and send good vibes snooper2's way. Obviously, there are some issues there when making fun of people is a sport.

I don't mind that it is me. I wish it remained directed at me, because I wear big girl pants and can take it. I wonder about those on DU that can't, however. In any case, let's dwell on the positive that others learn from my mistakes, because heaven knows, no one else has ever made one, especially not snooper2.
