[QUOTE="Cybra, post: 43148, member: 936"] Hey, Davo Yes, the restrictions between here and there are nothing short of a curious cross between humanic immaturity and poor efforts out of making useful friends when the opportunity is there. <Now you all know why I list as "not political" on Yahoo's personals....> [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Ok, back to stuff that IS important!
