[kj] FW: Re: who hates the simpsons.....

[melinda grant]

i knew you would support it,but thing is,you are very far from beeing 
mentally backwards,you have a fine mind/brain indeed---hay look,i 
tried,believe me,when it first came out years ago,i watched a few 
episodes,but it just did not appeal to me, dont get me wrong as,its 
not/wasnt the contents,or the subject matter they would be dealing with,but 
rather the way the silly simpsons put it across,it irritated me then,and 
never grew on me!!!!!

melinda ps you have a way to perswade  mr oliver ;-D concerning majority of 
posts you post,i find my self listening,and then taking second thoughts on 
your view of things  oliver ;-) its ok,it opems my mind,where others have 
failed to on certain subjects,however, if i am not careful,youll get me back 
into it again  ;-D))))
