TO THE PERSON who posted this nonsense: You're being a jerk and I just want you to know that. I don't want to discuss it or weigh the options. We don't need to analyze it or form a committee. You're being a jerk and, if you can't handle being told that, then maybe you should reconsider your position and take appropriate corrective action. Aside from that, be a man, put on your big boy pants, let me have the last word on this and we can all go back to talking about computer collecting.
