Steve 608 Posted June 23, 2023 @diego why don't you try to be more short and precise with your messages for example from one above - Danny Ward, Welsh/Liverpool goalkeeper, 30 years old today and post a/their wiki link rather than us all having to scroll through what seems like a short story. Same when you want to say post a death (name, age at death and link to confirm) as like @Perhaps and @ulitzer I am starting to find your postings rather tedious.
