This is a friendly note from the moderators. Honestly, we do not like rejecting posts, but we ask that everyone sign their posts, otherwise we will begin rejecting them for that reason. Too many people are responding via their phone without a signature, please make sure your posts are signed before you send them, if not do not have a signature, do not get mad at the moderators for rejecting them.
