Re: Cadenza's and Overtures Reply #6 – 2003-07-04 08:06 pm No, Fred, I get your little joke (and it is little), but I wanted people to check out the site for themselves. My neighborhood runs rampant with these violations, so I am fed up with seeing apostrophes where they don't belong. Quote Selected

Re: Cadenza's and Overtures Reply #8 – 2003-07-05 03:09 am I like Geoff's entry. But I find it extremely amusing that it contains a spelling error. (Hint: rhymes with "potato".) Quote Selected
