You're right, you don't know me. But you care enough about this "virtual world"

You were offended by my first post?

What would you have done with the room? I want a theater room, but I bet my wife

Likely NJ. All the CBers from there are filthy rich.

Am I rich? No. Do I make a lot of money? No. Have I bought low and sold high?
