Fumanshu... I thought we were having an educated discussion. Obviously I was wrong. Toad?? Nice. If that's the best way you have to refute facts... then it's not worth participating in this board.
Well if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black...
What constructive and educated discourse have you offered to this discussion? I hardly count cheerleading for team DiCocco as "educated" discussion.
Well first of all I haven't called anyone a hog or toad... or tadpole. as far as cheerleading... well think what you want... you want facts well here they are...from her website... I believe these numbers total almost $60 million and don't take into account the millions invested in 2006... so are all these numbers bogus?
