Someone told me my name was mentioned so I'm back. And no, I don't have one. :no: And please don't let the fact that I'm a terribly generous and kind mod WITH A BAN BUTTON influence your decision. Lesser men would have offered money. So cheap.
:sneaky2: I ALSO included 7' 3⅝" of paracord in the deal, lest you forget.Quote:
