I am not going to do anything to you edge, unless you make remarks that are completely out of place and are just problematic. You have done nothing wrong. But this topic can bring up bad feelings and many other negatives things. So you are just fine, and I wasn't thinking about reporting you.



Oh dear...

All I can say is thanks to the Mod who banned Etech7 otherwise he would be spammeing this thread no-end.



That proves it! There is no God.
