You know what? You are correct. The last time I used this toy was when it was
first released. I thought that it sucked so I removed it. Never looked back.

So what now? I'll tell you what Ed. I'll just lurk here from now on, or maybe
even unsub, and you can deal with the Newbie(s) problems. Fair enough? Seems
fair to me.

Have a good evening.
