It was a bet. There was no money EVER put up by anyone that wanted to prove me wrong. That is why I didn't post proof (well, actually I did but not documents, mostly because I couldn't find them at that time, hadn't done my taxes yet) and why I'm not going to today. I said it, it was true, and if someone wanted or wants to prove me a liar they can pay the piper. The few people on here who really know me knew it was true and I believe you when you say you believed it as well. The rest of them can believe what they want, or pay me off.

The "mess" got you thousands of hits. But you don't have to thank me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
