I seldom comment, but after reading through a few of the responses here "A-Z File Extensions".
ReplyDeleteI do have 2 questions for you if you don't mind. Could it be simply me or does it appear like some of the comments come across like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I'd like to follow you. Could you post a list of the complete urls of your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
