     What a racist comment! It shows your true face. I hope that one day this wonderful world will be devoid of people like you! "Thoughtless" wrote: "It is an all black area, and although I did not stay there, I did conduct a site inspection"

     What a fantastic introduction! To stay in one place for so long makes your tips seem like "insider" tips, indeed.
