You’ll notice it was a simulpost. **jayjay** and I both posted this at 6:24 a.m.

Since, the other posting is more popular, I’ll ask the moderators to close this one.

Actually, **jayjay** beat you by a day, if you’ll check the date.

Yes, you are right. :smack:  
I did a page search to see if the name “Mako” appeared on the first Cafe Society page but by the time I posted, the thread probably went to the second page (which I did _not_ search). :smack:

I have asked the moderators to close this one by the way.
