    Exercise as Detox

    Dainty, I left out an important point, which is that I informed Kina she can by all means delete my account. I very clearly informed her that is an acceptable outcome, especially in light of the forum rules, so no I never assumed I was above the rules. If she had chosen to delete my account...
