Hello Mark,
You'd be surprised at the childish nonsense that goes on there. Quite honestly
I think most of it is by the Crafty Clones (Operators). Maybe it just seems
that way because there are so many of them. I've been on there only about 2
months and the "Dirty tricks" that have been pulled in that short time would
amaze you. Lying about the hardware/software is minor stuff.
