Thank you for the back-up on the show haggle and the advice! ou are right when you say I should have my sources more at hand. However, I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not- perhaps you didn't mean that the way it sounded, but that's how I took it. The fact that I post with my name and level with people about how long I've been around should expel any notion of that. I just should watch my a** on the details, you're right. And believe it or not, I have viewed the boards for a bit before posting. And maybe I'm getting into something I don't understand. But I've been posting enough lately that if I suddenly disappeared, some would view it as cowardice. Maybe it's misplaced pride, but I hate the idea of THOSE people (they know who they are) thinking they have the power to make me tuck tail and run now.
I've been telling myself to ignore the flamers, lol. I have to learn to not let them ruffle my feathers, lol. But thank you very much! I appreciate the good vibes...
