With no disrespect to any involved parties, I have a problem with numbers 3 and 4 being on the same list. You, sir, should not have self-esteem problems. If no one else tells you on a regular basis how much they appreciate your military service defending the rights we exercise daily on this forum, I want to be that person. Thank you for what you have done, I appreciate it. Please continue to vape on!
