[kj] Personal army request re: KJ's "The Wait"

[Bette Dillinger]

Oliver, 

Sure I will do it.......but there is some hesitation.....this person would like a flame war and attention.....if you look at the comments on any youtube video it is 12 year olds gone wild.  Almost wouldn't want to give this cretin the satisfaction that he is getting

attention, you know?  You can set the controls to you being able to approve comments...what about that?
