HI

Hello, I've noticed you've scrubbed the spam from the other articles. Thanks for that.

I don't have much to say here except Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to BITCH media staff. Keep up the good and important work.

Thanks!

We've been getting hit with a lot of spam recently, so it's a constant battle. Thanks for the kind words and happy new year.
