    If you are unprepared to encounter interpretations that you might find objectionable, please do not proceed further.

    Nil,

    If you think the SITE is neat, you should see the free materials they send to teachers to use in the classroom.

    I am well aware that Mr. Dees does not need my measly few hundred dollars. I'm not doing it for him, I'm doing it for me.
