[Rhodes22-list] Brad, now my turn:

Thu Sep 11 15:30:56 EDT 2008

Rob,

Forgive me for short, clipped answers this afternoon but I'm a bit
busy on other missions.  Even in the 70's I had to listen to PC
lectures on the meaning of NO.  Just because you were almost all the
way to penetration didn't mean your partner didn't have the right to
say NO.

The final answer to the "Bridge to Nowhere" was NO!

Brad
