No, i understood that. I just have too much time at work so i just annoy others.

<-- thats me, but it's ok. I admit it. First step to recovery.

....actually i was really just suggesting to make a sister thread in the for sale forum. But whatever.

ohh and BTW... you might want to Edit your post, and add at the top 'FOR SALE' or something. i read the whole thing before i realized what you were trying to get at.
