You idiot. The whole reason this started is because I asked a question. Out of all the numb nuts who responded, only one or two gave useful information and answered my subsequent questions. It’s pretty obvious that very little here would fix any “bad facts” I might have.

As for my “story” not holding up to scrutiny - snort.
