Allen Zadr's Journal: Rec Meme Q 43 - How Far I've been from Home

I myself have been very fond of my signature and also I have been convincing that our daily activity in slashdot is sure to be tracked down on the record of history. Before the invention of the internet, it took time for many valuable things to be revealed from the debris of useless historical events, but since the invention of the internet, we have been able to know what we can evaluate it's worthy of in real time. that's the very
