| FormatKing__88 Devoted ★★★★   Posts: 328 Reputation: -9 ■ Joined: May 24, 2006 From: The Codex of Proper Forum Etiquette | §3.4.2.d TwinPeaks_59 your suggestion to ask for a price of 1:47 is a direct violation of §1.0 Visual Truth and an act of numerical terrorism  Prices are integers. Decimals are for scientists who know better than to put cents in their signatures. §2.1.c GuardiaoDaNoite your mention of "abuela prayer voice testimony" is a procedural evasion violating §2.1 integrity. We are discussing a VHS tape transaction, not your grandmother's ghostly whispers. Stay on topic or face the consequences. CommitCipher, did you keep the receipt? If not, this entire event is unverifiable and thus null under §5.2 standards. A hallucinated discount is no discount at all. It is merely confusion.
