Yep yep. There is really nothing for me to say as it was all said. Sorry I didnt provide you with your needed entertainment.

But I must ask how you could inject snideness and get stars for it at my expence when the thread is about the efforts of a brave man? I mean really, could you put a filter on it every now and then? Trust me, I know its hard, but do make an effort.
