So, am I a bona-fide TACO? Meet the definition, but evidence might be a bit
sketchy...think I registered in the spring of '01, but never posted a lot
simply because I'm an EastBay'er and FP, LS, and even MB are "a ways" away.
I'm more of a DelValle guy. But I'd be interested in making some purchases
from the S&T on-line store if 1) you were so kind as to share the promo
code, and 2) their server(s) weren't down. Been down since last night when
I saw this message, at least to my browser. :-)
thanks.
