Octo_888 Many of us here visit BOTH this board and THAT board. I know exactly who you're talking about, and probably so do many others. I do not agree with you referencing his post here. It's the equivalent of talking behind his back. If you want to respond to him or see others' opinions about his actions, do it on that board, and particularly in that threa...See More
