[QUOTE="Smashmouth, post: 3657696, member: 73661"] No, no, not jumping down your throat, just some healthy debate....and I will say I went back through some older posts and saw some of your positions on 22.4 so its all good. However I still dont know how you think your protected from layoff on Monday. Number 1.
