No, no, no. It was not a J post. It was a j post. There is a distinct difference which any judge (including, I trust, Judge Judy) will easily discern and dismiss your spurious claim. Darn, I couldn't think of two more d words to sub for spurious claim. j btw... that email has been making the rounds here in W. Michigan also... three messages in two days from local friends. Similar to the old Madilyn Murray Ohare letter that would make the rounds of all the fundamentalist churches every couple of years. The FCC went nuts over that for almost 20 years.
