No fooling. The rest of the insecticidal        soaps I have tried are jokes.              d) rise out your canister's spray gun with fresh water        or your will loose your springs and any other steal        parts              Let us know!              -T              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
