What is this? Gairabad 20:22, 11 November 2008 (EST)
I agree, is this even useful? it has three pages linking to it, and no one(did I spell that right?) would ever search for it. I found it because it had been edited recently, but only recently realized how unimportant it was, and then I had internet problems for a week or so. Anyway, whoever made this can tel us why it is useful, or else it should probably be deleted.--Destor 20:06, 24 December 2008 (EST)
