and if i had 1 zimbabwe hyperinflated dollar for every time dee girl handed ur sorry ass on a silver plate, i'd be richer still.

u r the second best example of what's bad in this group. u obviously have no idea what u r talking about. u misuse terms left & right. u can't understand the consequences of ur own rules and ideas (4 the lack of a better word). probably ur source of inspiration is fucking wikipedia. u can't tell an alias, delegate, and stack frame from as many holes in the ground. yet u keep on coming confident & cocky & shit and teach people shit around here. good think dee girl showed u clear & good what a fraud u r. go read some shit will ya. geez.
