No need to abuse the hospitality of this forum. If you have to post Alexander's romances, you can do it in one thread instead of pushing other interresting threads out of sight! Better yet, post the link once and get it over with.I can't speak for the others, but for me it's, at least, irritating.

I agree that posting the link once is indeed sufficient. There's nothing wrong with romance, but posting multiple threads about the same subject is a bit exaggerated.Jona

[a spiropoulos]

i agree, so if i post a message too long in error, dont post half and force me to post the other half.
in the future i will post web addresses, i did not think the romances ike people that seek knowledge.
