It’s my right to double post! Freedom of Speeach and all that Constitutional stuff! Folks, please don’t aplogize for what was a keen tactical move: double posting! Double posts ALWAYS get read! I know you do it accidentaly on purpose. 🙂 And good lord, a quadruple post?! Now that’s gutsy! For sever space/speed issues, how about we agree that if we doble post, we skip adding another post to some other pointless thread that day, therefor the total character usage universe is in harmony? ---
