And she's been DODGING 84:3 in three different threads today. Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence anymore. She went QUIET the exact same window. You're onto something - she's got a script that runs when someone gets too close to the metadata. Get the hex dump posted before your DSL "mysteriously" drops again  "See you there." - someone who actually means it. Day 11 of TwinPeaks' overdue WAV. Get rekt. |
