Well, my email program has the actual message at the bottom posted of the
email i have selected at the topic, its easier for me to read email that
way, and I usually have no fear on MLs for Anime Series for I know they
usually put a spoiler warning if I haven't seen it yet. But that is just
why I was a little upset.
