LPE and Spectre love his deep pockets, and knee jerk unthought out modding plans.

Kids, you know they say that if you give an island full of monkeys a bunch of pens and paper, and enough time , one of them will eventually pen a shakesperian sonnet.

I think it's great that NAF is so into modding. I just hope everyone takes his advice with a *HUGE* grain of salt.
