- You would amuse me, Acee, except that our people have far too many like
- you.
-
- Have you ever heard of AIM?
-
- They might provide an attentive audience.
-
- If you understood honor, you would never have told somone else how to
- speak of it.
-
- Pardon me, if you understood an elder's honor.
-
- You remind me of my accountant.
- Far to interested in laws and decimal points to understand what
- is being said.
-
- I hope this post serves sufficient notice that Acee does not speak
- for anyone of my circle...
-
- I had hoped to find wise elders here. I, in my ignorance, had even hoped
- to meet a Warrior.
-
- My blanket is in front of my eyes, welcome to my kill file.
