**MrDibble** and **Liberal** , please knock off the sniping immediately.

You both know where the Pit is, should you desire to continue.

This isn’t the **Pit** , so you all need to knock it off now.

The request is currently under discussion, and we will get back to you as soon as a decision is made. Until then, this thread has become less of a question about this board and more about squabbling with one another. It is closed. ( **TubaDiva** , as the **ATMB** mod, can override my decision if she disagrees.)
