    Must add to it again op!:D

    You must have lots of virtual friends who are willing to back you up when things Get sticky!

    These friends can get away with bending the rules also!

    Show Gummy where the bad mod touched you.

    This thread has now reached "above and beyond" my acceptance.

    OP, the answer to your question is: if you're a sound poster the admins may consider you for a forum.
    It's a "don't contact us, we contact you" scenario.
