Dell, back to the personal attacks that you accuse everyone else of?
More hypocrisy from the usual people - the good ole boy dumb red necks.

Anyone stupid enough to buy that ridiculous MLS light deserves to pay
$30 for a $4 test tube head, in my opinion. More sub optimal bullshit

You want to talk about "class acts"? Let's talk about dive rite and its
relationship with Leonard Marks and why. How about that?
