You were better off before that really foolish post.

You should have left well enough alone.

Goodbye.

The following post is in response to a FReepmail sent to me from a Barbaro "fan," and really says it all:

Whose comments regarding the "tragic death" of Barbaro? Don't you think the gushing praises bestowed upon this horse with the words "brave" and "courageous" are a little over the top? The *real* heroes are the men and women who are serving (and have served) in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a whip isn't required to motivate them into doing their jobs. Enough with the sentimental hogwash about a trained animal and its wealthy, elite owner(s)!

'Nuff said! Time to move on and get back to more important and pressing matters. RIP, Barbaro!
