Thanks, I already knew that. I have had so much stories and news related stories on several former Vipers to put on here, I havent had the space to put that news on here yet. I will soon.

I have a ton of Viper Alumni related stories and articles to put on here. I dont like clogging the blog up with five or six stories a day, its too much for one person to read all in one sitting and lots wont get read, so I try to post only one to two arictles a day to keep the fans coming back.

Thanks for the comment and thank you for visiting my blog.
