Re: A note from your friendly neighborhood Devil's Advocate

["Michael Kilgore" <khaakon@lycosmail.com>]

To back Lyle on one of his assertions (which one, I will not say), I know
for a fact that Mike Brobst does show up is because of the crap that was
going on.  BTW, it is the same crap as to why Melissa and myself left
Centralia and never looked back.

The last time I remember him showing up for a game was a couple weeks after
he showed up to do something that is a hotly debated topic of past weeks.

Thanks,
Mike
