Hi, Not what I was searching for, but none the less an interesting blog you have here. Thanks for putting it up. I've enjoyed reading a lot of the text here. I’ve got you bookmarked for the future, I'll be back. My sites are quite a bit different, some think it's odd. I guess it's a matter how you look at it. I have three legal directory sites that list local lawyers and also great legal advice articles.
