It is also when credit is granted (better to grant a small amount of credit on a daily basis, than 41000 credit once every 4 months...!) I'm a volunteer and my views are my own.

A bit like matchsticks in a friendly game of poker. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ ID: 24582 · Reply Quote
