Well, he did reply. Either his script is still doing it or he did and |
38 |
he hasn't learned anything yet. |

It's funny how he is the only one that has these problems and how he |
41 |
keeps using that disaster of a script. I don't think anyone has posted |
42 |
a positive thing about that script. I'm no script guru by any means but |
43 |
even I can read that thing and see what a disaster it is. |

Best of luck to him. I'm about done trying to help. Key word, trying. |
