I was just trying to be helpful, truthful and upfront as I see it.

If my lotus petals are wilted, then so be it - you are entitled to your opinion. I'm just not a brown-noser. A whiner's a whiner. I don't sugar coat the truth to try to win votes. I'm happy to deliver the mail!

Just don't shoot the messanger, please.

BUT, if U think your V friend is one of my "ECU ALLIES" by whining all day long like some pathetic TV character with whom he obviously identifies, then maybe someone else has a perception problem.

wilted but still growing and glowing,
