You have to put something in that white space. I was going to give a thumbs up to EDF 6, but I have to write something, that's going to take a good bit of time to write something substantial enough to satisfy everyone here. I'd rather be playing it, or doing something else, so I'm leaving it without a like/dislike for now. -- -Justisaur ø-ø (\_/)\ `-'\ `--.___, ¶¬'\( ,_.-' \\ ^'
