I refuse to comment on the slanderous comments that have appeared in this thread.
I'll show Billgerat a waste of bandwidth, wait til he sees his new title.

I have made approximately 17 interesting posts and over 200 title changes.

Oh yeah, I was funny twice.

Don't argue with me.

OK tack, I edited it for you.

*BLAM!BLAM!* Sorry, tack, I had to kill you now that you've shown yourself.
