Re I'm in trouble

[mark jackson]

Hi,   What is up. Every list on the web is acting like
a dictatorship, you can't do this or that! I got on to
these list to learn and find other people that have
similar likes and dislikes. Leps, this does refer to
butterfly's right? And if i have no place to buy them
how can i study them?  I have found that the small group of people
raising and selling stock know more about the subject
than the so called experts. And If you don't vote it does
not count so now so it is 11 to 3, so send  your votes to the list
if you want to be heard!                  Good Health,  mark j.
