So basically you are some kind of troll, just trolling quickly with tiny bits of bait with questions so inane. What you really want to say is " Uh, I don't know". Everybody is trollin for something so don't feel bad about it. People do understand but you've been rather more than sort of weetawdded. Steel shank? " Forget it.

I had the same kind of problems as you when I joined. Asking stupid questions. Mine where more of a computer literacy and comprehension plus I never read the rules... completely.

Its great to have some gear but even The Dan had lessons. Want one?
