I've never appreciated Psychomania.

Great masks, but it never really did what i hoped it would do. I realize that makes no sense.

Hence why I listed it as 'under-appreciated'!

So you did.

That must be why i used the term appreciated. It was in your post but never registered with me yet stuck in my head at a subliminal level.

Did i see you in The Exorcist?

Everybody who has their list finalized, can you please PM me the list? I want to save those PMs and use them for easy reference.

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

I still might tweak mine a bit yet...

Is the deadline still Sep 1st?
