Lordee Tyler, I hope mine doesn't succumb to the same
thing, and I'm just beginning to use it. I hope you
haven't let some small human play telephone with it or
something, and if you did, maybe they got a little bit
o' goo (xmas candy or gravy) on the business end?

profile. I'm just beginning to realize the truth in
all this.
Best Regards,
and the Season,
Ray
