since he was put on the list and I was all, eh tell him you did.
lol
But for real...I'm sick of being singled out.
Pete cc'ed me on an email with someone else this morning too, using me
as a contact and I don't like it.
Sounds like this guy is going to come to our Action meeting
tomorrow...hope that he just wants to help and isn't going to try and
take over.
