no, it's because of multiple-message spam. and also I think in one of his posts he said the h-word and caused a bit of offence to us

anyway, I haven't got any manga/comics I like, but a few of my friends like Johnny The Homocidal Maniac...

There was a series back when I was in grade school with these two dogs I think, and a cat, and they'd like solve mysteries and shit.

It was pretty good reading at that time, don't remember the name of it though. I think one of the dogs was a dauchsund...if I even spelled that right.

Latest book I read was The Pelican Brief which I really enjoyed.

Holy hell those were the books I was talking about! With the dog/cat characters and things like that.

Neat, couldn't remember the names of them for the life of me.
