They made inflamatory statements (esp. down in the cafe) then edited them later to remove the 'evidence'. One hour is surely enough time to correct typos. ID: 73389 ·

Most everyone that posts here is open minded enough to allow one to change their mind or opinion. And that's good! <img src='http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-912.jpg'> ID: 73519 ·

You don't necessarily need to re-post the whole message... you could just add on to it by making another post saying something to the effect of "Oh, and I meant to add..." ..y'know? :-) Rob ID: 73546 ·
