@007HallY , a wise person ( @echo ) recently said to me: Forget it Jake, it's Deketown.

Love the pejorative use of last century. How was @mtm being pejorative?? I just read the "offensive" post now three times. I have no clue as to how you came up with this @CrabKey ...? mtm simply pointed out that if the producers were ma…
