Thanks Simon....No need to apologize about the sponge balls, If you enjoy it, it's cool with me. Do what you love and be considerate and I'll get along with all of you. I just never got into sponge balls even though I can see the high potential in them. It's just that they're not me, that's all

To everyone else..Glad to meet you all and thanks for responding to this. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you that I haven't met yet.
