i know this is a stupid question, but when a tab says to slide and it doesnt have a number to slide from, do you just slide from the one thats most convenient or..? :oops: :oops:

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
