Sorry to msg you out of the blue. Here's the thing.
I wrote a book together with a friend. My boyfriend keeps saying it's no good. I think he's just jealous tho. He's a big time poster here, so I told him I'm going to pick a random person here, and ask them, and we ended up betting on it.
So go to (link deleted)and call it either way. Good or no good.
Thanks.

No your not it was a spammer who spammed the PM system. The email is from the PCHF server, and none of your personal information was not given out.

More information here: http://www.pchelpforum.com/site-anno...pam-today.html

Edit: Beaten
