So keep you pie trap shut. @ Brendon;

I dont know the guy nor I expect to, I had nothing to do with the assault. I dont care, i used his misfortune for a cheap laugh. Perhaps <a href="http://www.magiclevel.com/cgi-bin/atx/out.cgi?l=T1" rel="nofollow">this </a>would be more fitting with your higher sensibilities.

I installed it on my browser couldn't find the DIMWIT tab (This may be my own fault cuz I'm kind of a luddite when it comes to all this techie stuff) but I'm seeing the "TASTELESS & INAPPROPRIATE", and "EGOMANIACAL BANTER FUELED BY BURNING INFERIORITY COMPLEX" buttons just fine - I gave them a shot and they seem to have cleared up my earlier misunderstanding. Cheers for the help, now I'll be better prepared for your next post. sw, hey thanks for that download you’re a life saver.

Most people tell me to go and hang myself. Please hang with me, I've downloaded a Language Pack from Microsoft so next time I type a comment you may not need to go to VIEW -> ENCODING -> DIMWIT for sarcasm to display correctly on your monitor. @WTF

You know sw I've read your posts on several issues and valued them because I thought you added an important and often neglected perspective on things. This latest comment, however, will remind me to just scroll right on past what you've written.
