Gabriel hasn't pushed code in two days so obviously the semicolon is the only thing holding the whole universe together right now :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I swear this forum cares more about Grammar_Vigil's punctuation than the actual commits?? Please somebody post a sighting or something because we are arguing about grammar marks on a day with ZERO activity yes??? :banghead:

Life is just a dream, you know....... Gabriel is the one who wakes us up!!!
