    I say, here’s fun. Mind your own business. It’s common net etiquette that use of all caps is considered shouting and rude. But you of course, knew that.
    But I’ll play your game…since I wasn’t replying to you, who appointed YOU as the Defender of the Ignorant?

    Nice angle. Still shows her shape despite the coveralls.
