No. On a different thread, Harbal complained he wasn't getting enough response to his threads (whether you choose to believe him or not is another matter). It's as simple as that (note that he hasn't been around).artisticsolution wrote: βWed Oct 25, 2017 2:18 pmI did. Am I missing something? Is it too detailed to go into?
