Hey :frowning: U should have posted the IP of the guy who had that to trade. I want to get hold of “O brother where art thou”. LOL. Stupid morons - they can send out as many letters as they want like this, it’s not gonna do that much. A drop of water in the ocean. 20 e-mails, is that it? LOL. I was expecting it to say 20 thousand or something and I had to re-read it to make sure it was just a plain old 20. What a bunch of morons!
