Linze posed the questions, several people provided the answers... they fell on deaf ears. I persisted, but it has become evident that Linze isn't an ignorant bumbly who wanted clarification and information, Linze is in fact an ignorant bumbly who felt jilted because someone affronted Linze in front of their friend. Poor Linze. Sure, it is hardly a crime to be ignorant and/or lazy, but it is more that Linze doesn't quite seem to 'get it' that is frustrating.

Linze even seemed keen to get into a bit of bolting/anchor replacement at one point, which would be awesome. I would gladly spend time with Linze if Linze wanted to find out more about replacing anchors etc, as I am sure would many others.

The hammer is the metaphorical cyber mallet of chockstone, and no, I would not hit anyone with anything more lethal than a tendon hammer... that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to though! Covering him in honey just doesn't seem right either.

All in all an amusing way to while away some free time.
