DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted February 18, 2014 Dr. Zorders, Please lighten up a bit. Your posts make for very miserable reading at the moment. Perhaps you could contact another member of these hallowed forums, Tempus Fugit, by PM and arrange to do lunch. I'm sure you'd get on famously and become firm friends.

Sorry if you think my posts are "miserable" or whatever. What's wrong with a little grumpiness? Maybe it's a phase that will pass......... maybe not.
