[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2222285, member: 36230"]I'm glad you posted this as it helps put things in context; thank you. After reading his response, to me at least, it reeked of the perfect opportunity to show, and not just tell, him why it's fake... to educate someone who just told you they're not knowledgeable in this area.
