Ill be a member when my trial is over, and probably not before. This is because I’m flat fucking broke, and also, because I can’t see any advantage to paying for something I can do for free before I need to.

Bob, Under any other circumstance, your post may have irritated me. Sadly for you, there used to be a sportscaster in town named: Don Fortune. Bob fortuna/Don Fortune - Close enough. Think receeding hairline guy from the 70s. Thats how I picture you, and I don’t even know you. So now, your name just makes me laugh. ---

Hey **matt**? Can you take a bit of friendly advice from someone who knows a trainwreck when he sees one? Get some sleep, repeat to yourself “life’s not fair”, and move on. Enjoy, Steven ---

In fact, it’s become a hobby to see how long I can keep the wreck going, and a contest to see who keeps thinking the way I want them to think before I tell them I want them to think some other way now.

That’s a pretty destructive hobby. Your choice of course, but in general the admins and mods here don’t allow people who engage in that sort of hobby to remain members of this forum. Perhaps going out in a blaze of glory is what you’re aiming for, but that seems a waste. I’d rather make a difference in a positive way, even if I don’t ever make a big splash, than be a minor celebrity due to infamy. YMMV of course. Enjoy, Steven ---

ANd I’d much rather find out if my ideas will get me banned before I pony up my $18 before, then after, would you not agree? And I’ve been posting my crap for 3 days now… and as much as people may not agree… If you review the data you will see quite clearly I never insulted unless I was first insulted. So say what you will, however the final go/no go on me resides with the mods. The people here may hate me, detest me, want to kill me. Or not. No difference. My voice is just as valid as that of the herd, provided I follow the rules. And as can be seen from my history, I ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RULES. Enjoy, Matt ---
