[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1811922, member: 68"]I shouldn't post in the morning. I knew you weren't trying to bash moderns. There's really nothing wrong with it even if you were but I would have pointed it out. :) I really don't have a problem with the high grades but there is more opportunity for shucksters to operate here.
