We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

hmmm, what do you use her for ... do tell.

And I thought she was such a nice girl and that you and the diminutive (in staure only, i'm sure) henchslut were doing just fine.

'tis a mad world ...

AND, about the t-shirts, um, maybe the fact that they're ugly inhibits sales. Maybe also that there is a pic of In!Ex!tremis!! wearing one is a factor in low sales ...
