Re: I'm going solo! *Randy

Randy, I assumed that you were Randy Andy posting again. problem you run into
when you have a screen name similar to the one being used. some people will
actually appropriate your name and pretend to be you here as well.
Unfortunately the exchanges lack certain verbal cues that tell us exactly what
is being referenced in this forum.

I stand by my other comments directed to L/Martin/Randyandy/sandwich boy and
whatever other moniker the trolls want to use.

And if you are in fact Randy Andy who started this thread, shame on you. I am
sure that person is not an attorney. However, a law student posting that way is
even worse.
