08/28/2007 - Blogger's Note:
Rarely do I inject an addition to my blog entries but with some of the creepy comments that have thus been made, I must note that I have never met any of the individuals who I have mentioned in this blog story nor do I know anything about those who have been berated other than what they have written in the comment section. I apologize if you now feel chatised or intimidated or stalked due to the commenters who have spoken and singuled you out below. Please do not take this negativity personally and if you feel threatened do not hesitate calling law enforcement.
