I don’t see why it’s such a big deal to make the last post in a thread.

That’s because he’s beaten your team so often.

No, I don’t know which team but, whichever one it is, I’m quite sure that he’s beaten it several times! LOL

It’s nice to have something fun in ATMB, but that’s enough. Time to close this one.
