Meh, one person's opinion. Bucky Jan 2017 #30

Yeah, so you ask for proof then dismiss an example (don't ask me/UTUSN to do your homework for you). UTUSN Jan 2017 #32

I dunno, I've given you some pretty good advice here Bucky Jan 2017 #37

Bwah-HAH!1 Advice from you will certainly get me a better day!1 (That's sarcasm, btw) UTUSN Jan 2017 #40
