So.... I'm guessing you like getting "Ihren Arsch ausgepeitscht"

Stop screwing with the forum before I report you!

I don't care if someone wants to chime in with a funny or even a rude comment, however when they try to come off as smart and witty they usually come off as a blithering idiot!

Actually, I don't think it is drugs or lunacy, I'm thinking he is just a smart aleck brat.

This post shows that he can formulate a sentence (in English) without all of the Z sprinkles. Which means he is intentionally being a pain in the ar$e.

Wikipedia would be a good starting point. I'm amazed you started here instead of there, really, Mildred.

If you search this forum, you will find a lot of topics about harmonics.

However if you would like to be a little more specific as to what you want, then that will help!
