Don't worry 'bout it, we're all bored blaming Regi and 'Sok, so for the next while when Boards so much as flickers there will be a combined chorus of "CuLT!!!!"

99% of us will be grinning behind our kbs, and the other 1% wouldn't be satisfied if you showed up in person to hand them their morning coffee and their laptop, so ... :rolleyes:
