It looks like someone started 2 FS threads on May 19. These are not my threads and I do not have that equipment.

I just changed my password and logged out and in. I’m going to change my avatar as well.

    I changed my avatar to a picture of my system which is from the last thread I started here a little while back. Hopefully that proves I’m the real slim shady.

    I wonder if that Marantz sale thread was AI written. I mean, it didn't not sound like P.

    Thinking back, though, P. did seem a bit more serious and quiet in the post. It was as if he came home from work Friday night looking forward to a nice Friday night dinner, but then had to eat old fish sticksand it made him feel a little sad before he posted his FS thread.

    The lesson here, P., is to not eat old fish sticks before writing your sale listing. Look at Trey's FS listings. I bet that guy never eats fish sticks.

    Always thought we'd be in trouble if phishers ever got the spelling and grammar problem sorted...
