[BC] The K- Word ( Power - Side )

[Broadcast List USER]

Of course Barry knows this, and it is pretty insulting that you point  
this out.

On the other hand, this post will never make it to the list, because  
of the filter.

We all know Barry got this right.

No one will ever see this post because I am not willing to write  
several more paragraphs.
