[edit] "Neutral Stance"

Is anyone here going to pretend that Wiki is "maintaining a neutral stance"? Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, unless your writing has been approved by the community. Editing a biography about yourself should only be done in clear-cut cases.

So what is the "clear cut case"? I have seen patently false information by people who are nameless and have no responsibility. Who is Joe-my-god? I have no idea. Who is Ryoung? Would he please identify himself by name? And explain how he has become an expert on my life in three weeks? Or what excellent-top.com has to do with me? Bluemarine 11:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez


Can we all agree that "Joe my god" is hardly a fair source. The man, whom I have never met, obviously has a personal gripe with me, that reflects much of the invective from gay fundamentalist. Please note that several "editors" are consistently citing joemygod, as a legitimate source.Bluemarine 11:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez


I have never "admitted" to being an escort and this seems to be a really important point for a lot of very angry gay men.Bluemarine 11:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez matthew.a.sanchez@gmail.com


Primary Sources and Radio interviews.

I've added two radio interviews I gave, as well as two articles I have written or people who have interviewed have written. There are several more articles coming, I will update this article accordingly.

If I have violated any Wiki rules please advise. I have refrained from giving my opinion, but I have tried to give context to this pseudo-controversy. Any questions please write me: matthew.a.sanchez@gmail.com




I've added several facts regarding places, dates and details.

The CONTROVERSY section is the only reason I can see for even justifying this article. Someone should do a piece on the Culture Wars and how it pertains to the current political situation in the United States. Of course, there are probably several people who feel the "culture war" doesn't exist, which a point worth mentioning.

I added the Escort Controversy, because I dispute it. If you have proof to the contrary, please send me the information matthew.a.sanchez@gmail.com

I've added several articles that are a part of the whole military, adult film career controversy, including a couple of blogs at the Huffington Post, which should have some weight with the silly people who read that crap sheet, but I understand I have a bias in this situation.


Ladies and Gentlemen, my story is ONLY important because of people who see me as a means of criticizing political adversaries. So, it's crucial to put this article in that context. If not, this whole "scandal" is just hearsay and fodder for "beleaguered gays" who feel threatened by anyone who doesn't agree with them.



I've cleared up several dates. I also cleared up several cities. I didn't "move to San Francisco" I traveled to Los Angeles.

I've added two new articles that appeared, one that was written by me and concerns the military on American campuses. It is pertinent since this is what I originally stepped forward on. Another on conservative David Horowitz defending me after the revelations.





I added the CONTROVERSY section to explain the comments of attackers like RYoung. This is the section please verify.

Also, I've added more information precisely because there is a slant on this article. I won't let homosexual jihadist describe me so that they can have a poster boy.

"References to my past" were created by faceless bloggers who not only do NOT know me, but can't substantiate their claims. Obviously everyone has a bias and I obviously have a bias. But I have been more upfront and honest than any of my virtual attackers have been.


1. Matt, sorry but WIKIPEDIA does not run according to YOUR rules, it runs according to Wikipedia's rules. So, you can nominate yourself for deletion if you wish but it would take a majority consensus to agree for it to be deleted. You made yourself well-known twice over.

2. Any film not 'suitable' for children is an 'adult' film (i.e. NC-17). What you did is clearly porn.

3. how about 'gay-for-pay'?

4. Clearly you don't know much about Wikipedia to be making that comment. I've seen a lot worse!

6. What a joke! Anyone can edit Wikipedia, regardless of who you'd like to discriminate against.

7. Deleting documented references to less pleasant aspects of your past is clearly biased.

8. The best way to deflect attention from yourself would be...to STOP editing your own article. If you weren't trying so hard to spin it into a career-plus bio (with a whole lot of references to things no one besides you would know or care to know), then I'm sure no one else would still be interested, either...least of all me.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 06:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Matt you can protest all you like, but your interview with Alan Combes that I've linked (and was posted with Alan's permission) is very clear that you worked as a prostitute for men and also as a masseur. And that your ad, posted in a gay publication, appeared in Nov 2004. If would certainly be interesting to get an old copy and scan it.Wjhonson 20:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments by Sanchez

There are several things posted that are demonstrably not true.

The LGBT/homosexual "community" has an enormous bias against me and it shows in their "interest" and participation in this post. Their interest in this post compromises Wiki's neutrality.

I am NOT Puerto Rican. I was born and raised in California and served in the American Military. I am of Puerto Rican origin and resent the label of Puerto Rican as my nationality.

Calling me an escort is libel. There have been many false statements against.

I NEVER lived in England. I don't even like England Bluemarine 11:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez

I did produce the Movie Minute, please review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYX1wEM3yAs

These projects are an important part of my life and explain my presence in Hollywood at several key points in my life.


I also produced from Reader to Writer for American Airlines, please review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD-WjB7I924

I am an avid Wikipedia user. I believe you provide an enormous service. Professors HATE wiki because they complain it is run by "amateurs". I disagree, but its obvious that you have a group that wishes to slander me. Please come to the source--ME. I can provide verification and authenticate facts with proof. Matthew.a.sanchez@gmail.comBluemarine 11:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez

Thank you.





The Gay LGBTProject has a VERY biased Beef against Me (Matt Sanchez) Since they are political and extremely malicious, they will do pretty much anything to discredit and slur me. Their favorite technique is to use homosexual sex. So, they insist I was both "passive" and "active" in the videos when it is a well-known fact that I was exclusively active.

This page needs pictures.

This page should be merged with the much more thorough

Looking from the Jimbo Wales article, it is generally Wikipedia policy NOT to edit one's own page:


[edit] Wikipedia revisionism In late 2005, Wales was criticised for editing his own biography page on Wikipedia. Larry Sanger commented that "it seemed [Wales] was trying to rewrite history".[26][27][28] In particular, Rogers Cadenhead drew attention to logs showing that Wales had removed references to Sanger as the co-founder of Wikipedia.[28][29] He was also observed to have modified references to Bomis in a way that was characterized as downplaying the sexual nature of some of his former company's products.[26] An article in the July 31, 2006 issue of the New Yorker magazine [4] expanded on this topic:

“ Even Wales has been caught airbrushing his Wikipedia entry—eighteen times in the past year. He is particularly sensitive about references to the porn traffic on his Web portal. "Adult content" or "glamour photography" are the terms that he prefers, though, as one user pointed out on the site, they are perhaps not the most precise way to describe lesbian strip-poker threesomes. (In January, Wales agreed to a compromise: "erotic photography.") ”

In both cases, Wales argued that his modifications were solely intended to improve the accuracy of the content.[26] Wales explained that Sanger had been his employee,[30] and that he considered himself to be the sole founder of Wikipedia. In 2006, Wales told the Boston Globe that "it's preposterous" to call Sanger the co-founder;[31] however, Sanger strongly contests that description. He was identified as a co-founder of Wikipedia at least as early as September 2001[32] and referred to himself that way as early as January 2002.[33][34][35]

Following this incident, Wales apologized for editing his own biography, which is a practice generally frowned upon at Wikipedia. Wales said in the Wired interview, "People shouldn't do it, including me. I wish I hadn't done it."[26] He continues to assert that he is the sole founder of Wikipedia.[31] However, it has been reported that Wales is the co-founder.[36][37][38]


Clearly, Matt Sanchez is violating that policy, even as he calls to exclude persons based on alleged affliations with the LGBT community. Please, Matt, get over yourself.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 04:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Male Prostitution career

Here, "BlueMarine" admits to being Matt Sanchez, putting him in violation of the Wiki: Autobiograsphy policy of NOT writing one's own autobiography.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 04:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs major surgery, if not deletion

Is this a criminal indictment? What's this, "Furthermore,..." language? I don't even think this qualifies as a "notable person." He's a private citizen who's made a couple appearances as a guest on news shows because he had a story to tell. So do countless other people. Shall we start writing Wikipedia articles about each guest on news shows, including their sex lives? This is hardly newsworthy. To be perfectly honest, it looks like nothing more than a personal attack (creating new articles to air political opponents' dirty laundry on Wikipedia isn't exactly new). --Beth C. 00:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I've done some cleaning up. I haven't even touched the Youth, Porn Career, Alleged Escort Career, or Other Activities narratives, and although it desperately needs cleaning up if this article is to remain, I'm not particularly inclined to dig into these areas. I hope someone who can show a NPOV will do something with it. Frankly, I find the existence of this article not only unnecessary, but IMHO, depressing for what it indicates about the current political climate. --Beth C. 02:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

You're right, Beth. The Wikipedia shouldn't contain anything that you personally find depressing. Do let us know if there are any other articles you want deleted because you find them unpleasant.
My, aren't you charming? --Beth C. 03:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added this baby, which provides some perspective from the conservative side:

So, the ones concerned about a 'rewrite' are pushing an agenda? Who would have thought?→ R Young {yakłtalk} 02:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Physician, heal thyself. --Beth C. 03:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I happen to know Matt Sanchez and I added the items about his advertising as "Excellent Top" during his escort period and the item about his unsold TV pilot. Ecoleetage 13:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Delete this article. He is a nobody. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.212.42.109 (talk) 07:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Merge from Matt Sanchez

Please merge relevant content, if any, from Matt Sanchez per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Sanchez. (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-14 10:55Z

[edit] Verifiability and Citations

Given that this is an article about a living person, this article must observe WP:BLP, in particular, "Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material". Examples of content I removed:

  • He cites travel and books as some of his main interests, and is rumored to have visited over 50 nations over the course of the past few decades. He is often called "Mateo" by his close friends.
    He is thought to have worked in four major U.S. cities, charging $300-$350 per session. Sanchez regularly advertised his escort services in gay-oriented publications and on the Internet, using the pseudonym "Excellent Top." The advertisements featured faceless photographs of Sanchez's muscular body, and he often posed with a whip in his hands. Copies of his ads are still available on the web.
    Sanchez allegedly optioned several screenplays, wrote for the Montreal Mirror, Time Out Berlin, Musique Plus, Burn Magazine, Teen People and the Los Angeles Times while working in public relations for several undisclosed clients.

"Allegedly", "rumored to", and "thought to have" are simply unacceptable.

Please! These phrases were merely meant to give Matt Sanchez the 'benefit' of the doubt, even though the evidence was clearly against him (i.e. for his being a male escort).→ R Young {yakłtalk} 04:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

If you have claims you wish to include, please add citations (see WP:CITE Wikipedia:Citation Templates, and WP:V about using blogs as sources). See my latest edit citing the Salon article for his admission that he was an escort:[1] From my understanding, the only evidence presented for his escort career have been

  • ads that purportedly look like him
  • Sanchez's own admission that he was an escort.

Given the latter, it is appropriate to say he was an escort, but then to tie these unconfirmed ads to him constitutes original research and is inadmissible. --Mmx1 18:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

No. Original research is research a wikipedia does themselves, not research they find someone else has cited somewhere else on the internet or in print. If you find that someone else has cited it, that is source-based research, not original research. Wjhonson 15:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

None of this was 'original research,' it was research that can be linked from other websites, such as:

http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2007/03/jeff-gannon-redux.html→ R Young {yakłtalk} 04:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


I've removed "(many of which have been re-released)" after "He starred in many gay and bisexual videos for Catalina and Falcon." Non-consumers of gay porn such as I have no way of verifying this to be true other than taking the anonymous editor (IP 76.19.8.210) at his word. Additionally, user 76.19.8.210 has added several other words/phrases/sentences which might, if one didn't assume good faith, be believed to be part of a specific agenda. --Beth C. 08:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing footnote

I'm going to remove the only "reference" that is in this article, as it links to the Wikipedia page at matt Sanchez, which is nothing more than a redirect to this page. That's not a reference. I am then going to add [citation needed] to it. Corvus cornix 22:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Uh, okay, now I'm confused. I don't understand how the referencing is working, since the references are not working correctly here. Corvus cornix 22:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article rename

I've moved this article from the title Matthew Sanchez to Matt Sanchez, per a request at WP:RM, and because that's what he's called in all the sources. There was a non-trivial history already at Matt Sanchez, so I swapped the two, and that history can now be found at Matthew Sanchez. The talk page previously here at Talk:Matt Sanchez, I moved to /Archive 1. Cheers. -GTBacchus(talk) 04:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments left by Sanchez

I'm moving the following from the actual article page, which was left under "Gay porn career":

This person is obviously just writing things with no proof. That Salon Quote is NOT in the article I wrote--please consult. Wikipedia is a decent source for research, but when you let it turn into a means of slurring someone, the whole Encyclopedia loses credibility===Matt Sanchez

[edit] Photos

Do we really need all these photos? The H&C screenshot photo is too big, breaks up the text, and doesn't seem to be necessary anyway. I've never added photos to a Wikipedia article so I'm not sure how to fix it (i.e. right-align it, use a thumbnail, whatever). Also, PLEASE don't add unrelated photos like the Burn magazine one, the bodybuilder photo, etc. --Beth C. 21:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I've tweaked the H&C photo; see Wikipedia:Picture tutorial, Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images, and particularly Wikipedia:Extended image syntax if you want to make further changes.
I've also asked User:Bluemarine to stop adding information to the article about him; this is a violation of WP:AUTO. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

And the point of this information is? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The Point of this information is that there IS no point. It is irresponsible to tie me to this site. (the post above evidently by matt Sanchez)

The point of the information is that you have been tied to this site as the owner of it, by reliable sources. Wjhonson 16:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Here is a link to the audio interview, where we can see exactly what the truth of this matter really is can't we. Wjhonson 16:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
The odd thing is, I heard this radio interview while I was driving to my office. I'd never even *heard* of Matt Sanchez until that day. When you were cornered on the fact that these ads you aledged weren't placed by you, appeared three years ago with your *same* phone number that you *still* have today, you couldn't explain it. Why would someone else place an ad, using your pictures and your phone number, verified by the interviewer as your phone number? That makes no sense. However you trying to cover it up, makes perfect sense. By the way, you didn't succeed in removing every instance of your original ad from the internet, I still found it yesterday. Wjhonson 19:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations of Male Escorting

Again, more innuendo from faceless, illegitimate "web sources" I went to the Blog.salon.com site and there's NOTHING beside a couple of photos from me. This is more insinuations from "Ryoung" a man I do NOT know. Please note, there was also some guy named Andy Towle who claimed to have dated me, which is patently false. --Matt Sanchez

I have never done a "but--confessional" I have been very straightforward in owning up to the films, and telling everyone pornography is prostitution. I said that Colmes, I said it McCullough, I said it on Smerconish radio shows.


Wikipedia is not for publishing 'original research,' but claims of male escorting by Sanchez are not.

We can in fact find many citations on the web, some with documentary evidence and all-but-confessionals from Matt himself: —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.219.235.37 (talk) 05:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC).


http://blogs.salon.com/0001517/2007/03/10.html

5. Assuming that it has ended, when did your gig as a male escort end? What services, exactly, did you provide to your clients? Are most male escorts really just escorts?

My "it ended over a decade ago" comment is about porn. Over a decade 1993. That's 15 years ago. I gave a couple of years just to please the "gotcha" bloggers who have a somewhat twisted "pro-homosexual" agenda that they feel I have violated.

Come forward Ryoung--aren't you gay?


Response from Sanchez:

5. It ended over a decade ago.

[edit] Information moved here from a user talk page

Note: this information was posted on my user talk page. I'm moving it here because this is where all discussions about the article belong. (I have deleted information about Sanchez "outing" someone else, in another article on Wikipedia; whether or not he did so is irrelevant to what should be in this article. Let's argue about content, not contributors.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Initial posting

I am Matt Sanchez and there are several patently and demonstrably false statements on my "biography".

I never lived in England. I never was a "male prostitute". These entries passed off as facts are just pure slander. 19:02, 25 March 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluemarine (talk • contribs).

Greetings,
Blue Marine continues to edit his own (Matt Sanchez) page. I find it amazing, considering his own words in Salon earlier stated "I'm not denying it" and told many that he did it "over ten years ago." It seems that Sanchez wasn't denying what brought him attention, but he's denying it now that the military has begun an investigation into his past activities.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 05:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second posting: Terms usage and verifying sources

Note: personal attacks and irrelevant additions have been deleted.

1. I never said I was an escort and I'm tired of this argument ...

You said "I'm not denying it" and "it was over 10 years ago." User:Ryoung122 06:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

2. There's a project called the Movie Minute that belongs in my "other activities" http://youtube.com/watch?v=pYX1wEM3yAs please add it.

3. [Irrelevant].

4. You should add that I've publicly stated that I am NOT gay ...

5. The Columbia University article is another hit job on me, please merge the two articles, or put "disputed facts" or something to that account.

6. I realize this is an annoyance sir, but I AM the subject of this article and the information does NOT reflect my reality, either past or present.

7. I'm sure you can see that this whole article is politically driven. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluemarine (talk • contribs) 06:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

Wjhonson is another gay Jihadist. I have PUBLICLY stated that I am NOT a Homosexual REPEATEDLY and yet these fags have never put that into my article, however they have put the "gay hustler" label on me, although I have clearly stated that

1. Porn is prostitution 2. The films were directed toward men 3. there are similarities between myself and Rich Merritt AND Jeff Gannon. 4 I have only edited when these people have slandered me for their own pathetic agenda. 5. Who are these faceless cowards? I have put my name and e-mail on everything and they call me dishonest. Geez Bluemarine 23:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez

And no Matt I don't "identify as a gay man". Sure I've been a "male escort for men" for years and I've been in "six or seven gay porn films, fifteen... I mean nine years ago". And I run ads in "gay magazines catering to gay men for massage" (wink wink) since I'm a "licensed massage therapist". But no I'm not gay. In fact, I think I'll update my user page, this gives me an idea. Wjhonson 05:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My comments

First, it's clear that there should be as little interpretation of sources as possible in the article. If there is wording that could be interpreted as saying that Sanchez was an escort, then simply quote that, and let the reader judge.

Second, regarding point 2, I really appreciate the non-editing of one's own article. I'm probably going to have limited access and time in the next couple of days, so I ask that someone else take a look at this. (Youtube.com is a marginal source, but it can be used on occasion.)

Third, if in fact there have been public statements about not being gay, those should be cited (quoted) in the article. (Postings to Wikipedia talk pages and articles don't qualify as "public" or citable.)

Fourth, I don't understand the reference to the "Columbia University article"; clarification is appreciated.

Fifth, it doesn't matter what the motivation was or is of those who have contributed to this article. The goal here is to have an article that is neutral in view; that can be accomplished regardless of political or other feelings on the part of editors, assuming that everyone follows the rules here. I will say that I am a bit disturbed by the tone of many of the comments by User:Ryoung122; there seem to clear violations of WP:CIVIL. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


Obviously, not a neutral article.

[edit] Hooker

This is the text that Matt would rather not be in the article and which he keeps removing: "In March, Matt Sanchez was interviewed by Alan Combes for a radio show. In that interview, Alan says "You worked as a male prostitute?" to which Matt replies "That as well." Audio Interview, where Matt states that he worked as a male prostitute for men. Alan states that he contacted Matt that day, on the same phone number that he found posted in an ad for massage services in the New York Blade Nov 2004. (The interview first says the Advocate, but later in that same interview corrects it.) Combes futher clarifies "You marketed yourself as a hustler for gay men."

I invite everyone to listen to the link. Matt repeats three times that he was a hustler in that interview. Hustler as in prositute as in hooker, not as in gay porn movies. It's pretty clear. Wjhonson 04:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


Listen to the interview, all 30 minutes of the interview, not the 6 minutes posted on sites like Joe.my.god. I never say I was a "hooker" like the Wjohnson says. I go into great detail about all of this in the full interview, unfortunately, Wjohnson wants you to listen to the abbreviated version.74.73.183.229 16:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez

No Matt I posted the link I had. If you have something more than post it, you're welcome to. I originally, in my car, listened to the entire show as it was being broadcast. The quotes are exact, he asks you three times if you were an escort, prostitute, whatever you want to call it, if you had paid sex with men, and you say yes. If you'd like to post full quotations where you clarify that *from this show* be my guest, that's what we're here for right? To get it all out in the open. Wjhonson 17:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


Very funny Wjhonson. You're leaving out a lot of information, namely the 24 other minutes where we talk about this "IN DETAIL". I said "it's all the same," it's all prostitution.

You have an issue with hookers and you're trying to slander me with the terms.

Alan: Tell us what happened. First of all, a number of years ago... and how many years ago was it? You did gay porn?
Matt: It was fifteen years ago and it just wasn't gay porn, by the way. But it was fifteen years ago.
Alan: What else was it?
Matt: It was more than that, but it was porn.
Alan: Did you work as a male prostitute.
Matt: That as well. Yes
Alan: You were a male prostitute?
Matt: Yes, this is one of the worst periods in my life.
How clear does it have to be Matt. You say yes I was a prostitute. Now you want to withdraw it, but it's right there on the audio. Wjhonson 04:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

This article is turning into a joke. How about everyone just agree to take a couple days off it and cool off? It reads like a blog opinion post now, not a well-sourced encyclopedia article. I still say the best thing would be to scrap the entire thing because this is clearly not notable except to a few bloggers, and only because it was a story "broken" in the blogosphere that got some very minor media attention (the Colmes radio interview). If it must stay, then make it a complete bio, not just an article about this ridiculous (yes, that's my opinion) "controversy." (I'd rewrite the whole thing, but I don't have time; I just checked in only because I followed a link to another WP article and saw I had new messages.) --Beth C. 20:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Uh Beth, Matt has been on a dozen TV shows and two dozen radio spots. (I'm sure Matt has the exact count.) That's hardly just bloggers. And "Matt Sanchez escort" gets thousands and thousands of google hits. That's a heck of a lot more than I get. Wjhonson 04:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


Oh hey WJhonson is this an "envy" thing because I've been on "two dozen radio spots and get thousands of hits while you're just a poorly composed screename?74.73.183.229 06:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Matt sanchez

There ya go ;) You're very clever. You should add some more pictures to this bio from your facercise page. Wjhonson 11:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Wjhonson, Take the pictures from your collection and put them up. Matt Sanchez Escort gets thousands of hits because of people like you, who define your lives through sex. Get a grip Jhonson, you're not a part of this story. [This unsigned edit made 20:11, 28 March 2007 by Bluemarine]

Matt when you told Alan that your days of gay prostitution were fifteen years behind you, did you forget your "Goodbye to escorting" letter that you posted to your own web site in what was it 2002 or 2003 ? You're right that you're pretty bad at Math, to me that's only about 4 or 5 years ago instead of fifteen. Call me picky. Wjhonson 04:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
