[MD] Horse's Ruling [MODERATOR NOTE]

[Horse]

  Bo

Go back and read my post again.

And again

And again.


Keep doing this until what I've said in that post finds it's way into 
your head.

Once there, make sure you keep every word of it in mind when you 
participate in this forum.

I've put up with your crap for long enough.

You are due no more warnings.
