I just want to know why you had to be discriminating and picked on the pop-up'ers ? I am sure Hybrider's don't do a better job of it, neither tent'ers ! But you had to pick on the popup'ers ! Shame on you  :mad:


P.S. before anybody gets wise on me : She posted this on a  Popup forum, So she picked on the Popup'ers by choosing this forum ! There ! :rolleyes:
