I am quite serious Duckhunter935 Jun 2014 #20

Of course you have no answers. canuckledragger Jun 2014 #29

Neither can you, apparently krispos42 Jun 2014 #66

You want Something Done, but can't/won't tell us what friendly_iconoclast Jun 2014 #25

You haven't asked me anything at all. canuckledragger Jun 2014 #28
