So is this thread going to be a sticky - somthing like a table of FAQ contents thread? That would seem to be the logical thing. Most sites call it a "Check Here First" sticky thread.

misclicluna007, I will NOT be ordering one. I tried to do business with Melvin several years ago. The man is a thief and a liar -- still owes me $325. The original comment and my reply shouldn't be on this thread, but here they are.
