Sorry about that.

Heya! Welcome to the forum, and... (pssst, tavis, we did get those anti-air missiles away from bsp, right?) ... um... yeah, hope you enjoy a long, fun, and <i>safe</i> stay!<br><br>and the 'awww' threads come from a cute picture, while everything else ends up a random conglomeration of streams of conciousness of the various people around the world here! It may not always make sense, but heck... does it really have to?
