How many to inform the op of multiple mentionings worded slightly different?! Lol
 
So Joe, tell Uncle Hendo, how's your day going?
 
Did you mention "lamp" and "post" in the same line?? That's against the rules over at FLBO!!! (For light bulbs only) Mods??...sic em!! Geof
 
I'm not sure but I think you left out


"Post it over at Moparts and get THEIR opinions"
 
Joey,that's funny. In N&P,we would debate,post silly pictures and rant.Eventuy,the calmest,logical one,would walk away from the computer and change it.
