Tim Fischer Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (off topic)I didn't realize one could claim they we're "lurking" by simply turning off the "lurk mode" every time they feel they want to post. Fascinating!(/off topic)For the record, Clay, I'm not saying you should go away. I'm just saying that if you say you're going to go away, but keep posting, it makes you look rather silly.

Yeah, those were a real b*tch back in the day. You fly through one of those or fly too close to a tower and it would really pop your kernals. In some of the western states it was so bad that birds would basically get cooked in flight and drop right out of the sky. (Although when you think about it, where else would they drop from.) Glad you survived the experience and lived to author the first auto sequence effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
