Guess you're right...but I'd hate to think how long it'll be until I come across the quote I mentioned above again lol! Unless you have it configured to some random selection process or what have you...

Don't have to wait long my friend.

"For me, that term "pop" is like a candy bar. You buy it because you like it, you eat it, and then you throw it away. It has no long-term meaning or value."

- The Edge, 1985


And I agree with what you said earlier
