[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 829300, member: 7315"] [b]Let me do some ..splaining[/b] I guess my 3rd grade teacher was prophetic when she said "I didn't play well with other children"..Look where it has led me too..arguing with total strangers over a keyboard....sad... First... To all (except PV) I apologize for my lack of civilty. The moniker is JoeKing...I mean no offense..usually.. Second..
