[kj] More SICK of you so called gatherers than EVER!!!!!

[countessghoulita at aol.com]

 Hey Michelle,

we have not seen a single post from you about Killing Joke or any other band at all. While waiting for their new release, this board has been eviscerating anything Killing Joke past and current, talking about other bands, and yes, our music spectrum is pretty wide. And it is not gossiping what we are doing, but you could care less. 
.
There are some good physicians out there who can deal with your anger and frustration issues. Get some help.
