I don't need to resort to that kind of underhanded bullshit. My posts and opinions can stand on their own, without obfuscation or the need for astroturfing or sockpuppets. Which is more than people like you can say. I know, in a world as completely crooked and twisted and utterly helical as this one, seeing a straight shooter like me is unsettling. What you see is what you get though.
