Nah, just the only one to bother posting.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

ur not. i also realized right after i posted. but im just wondering why he did that? i get a bunch of those email in my spam box (sometimes inbox) daily. these arent new and exciting things to read.

Nah, just the only one to bother posting.
i figured that after i saw that there was like 20 views and noone posted yet, i was trying to figure out y, and then it hit me...

Not taking chances, just in case he didn't post it as a joke, he would be in for quite a ride.

Actually I did not mean to quote the second part. I trade 24/7 so that is why you will see me at all hours.
