Length of discussion Just now I saw a discussion which was just two words long, not sure if that’s allowed or not. I know some people write much longer ones which are ok, but writing something so I’m not sure. Does anyone know...

Bill Kasman The owners - Heather and Will Chapman - are straight arrows who got caught up in a bad situation through no fault of their own. They aren't the type to cut and run.
