    I think it's bull that you increased the BIN in the first place, nevermind thinking about increasing it again.

    It's people like you that should be avoided when dealing in sites.

    And why is that? When you have 5 people wanting a site in 3 hours, it's only natural.
    Ive done this a million times over, I don't need anyone telling me what I should or should not be doing.
