Fellas, gees. You've read his posts. There is no proof. The man's a ****** (edited by forum administrator) and. He's an adult, is he not, in his forties? Nobody making a serious point behaves like this, all the infantile taunting and coyness.<br /><br />And all the above remains true even should it ...
