------------------------------------------------------ thanks for ripping open my magazines. Practically every porno magazine I get in the mail has been ripped open. Either it was ripped open by the postman to read it, or to inspect it. The postal service insists on having a monopoly on mail service, and then they rip open all the porno magazines. What a rotten deal. Do you guys think I am getting magazines with 8-year-old girls in them? It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, as you can see, I can write many thousands of words. If my magazines do not stop arriving in a ripped open condition, I am going to LOWER the ages of the girls in my stories. I consider my magazines very valuable. I handle them with extreme care. I keep the best ones in Ziploc plastic bags, to give them complete protection. I stand them up on a bookshelf so they wonÕt be wrinkled or dented or (worse) have something spilled on them. I put hard back books at regular intervals between my magazines, so that the magazines do not bend or stand at an angle. I make sure the temperature in my apartment stays at a regular level, so my magazines are not affected by excessive heat or cold. DO NOT rip open my magazines. Everyone knows there are no magazines featuring 8-year-old girls floating around. Find yourself a real job, flipping hamburgers, instead of tearing open endless quantities of magazines. I have written thousands of words and I can write thousands more. Those magazines coming through the mail are my property, already paid- for in advance by me. Quit damaging it! ------------------------------------------------------ Copyright 2001 by Andrew Roller.
