ah man, ifins (if) we have ta (to) speak proper English and need good
grammer then I had best just start lurkin' (lurking) or unsubscribe as
the redneck in me is aweful evident. So I hope ya'll (you all) will
forgive me if I let some of my real time verbage slip into a post every
now and then. But if good grammer (and neither of my grammers was very
good :o(  ) is required then I am worse of than a offactorally
challanged coon dog.
