I was just warning you about some mistakes that other new members of fsxNet have made. Not me, obviously, because I'm the best there is, was, and ever shall be...but others. However, sending an open invitation to hack your system was probably not the wisest response. I won't even try, even if you made me smell the hun'fiddy in person. My hat is white, damnit!
