When others suggested he recheck his submission form to see if he asked for conservation, he recognized he had and apologized.&nbsp; I don&#039;t appreciate someone now coming in to slam him as &quot;ignorant nobody&quot; if Bear was whom you&#039;re referring to.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Sure. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><i>Since I&#039;ve <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> been known to get fired up <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and then stick my <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie91" alt=":stinkyfeet:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> foot in my mouth <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> when I didn&#039;t comprehend a post in my native language <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":eggface:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":blackeye:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, I&#039;ll let this member <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (thanks [USER=85295]@Casman[/USER]) who can figure it out answer you: </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Casman, posted: &quot;Good grief, <b>nobody’s picking on Da Bear</b>…it was this:&nbsp; <span style="color: #b30000"><b>Odds are, they kept you Dime because it had color, and sent you one that had already been cleaned in their stock.
