I used to own a Vitriol once it was nice but i just couldn't get along with it.
I would like to say we collectively are of a certain age, and as such we get more cranky with age... i have traded and bought with some on here who pre-ported to be experienced shippers, when the stuff i traded for or purchased arrived it was not well packed and it was not even in that good condition, use gots to roll wiv dem punches mate... as we age we are likely not as capable as we once were, lets consider our aged brothers whom like us are still out here doing it.. aren't we all just doing the best we can, and if perchance we slip let us consider " that might be me soon..."

FWIW- I apologized to someone for acting like an angry 14 year old girl at them. I have no doubt that I did.

Hmm, late to this... errr... party?
Fify.
Whuh, did I miss a merger between the hotel chain and the money exchanger?
That's exactly the intent with a prescribed burn, for reasons made obvious by those few seconds of video. It's still formidable, a bit humbling to be present assisting at such an event. And they're not always so neatly controlled (don't ask how I know).
