Wes, ease up a tad man, he's doing the bridgework by wiring the pins. READ
the question first before your start unloading on him.
You criticize him for not pointing to a link, I would say this , if you
need the link for reference to what he's talking about, your clearly not in
a position to help him since he's looking for people that has experience
with this hack to assist him and when it comes to this, you clearly don't.
No offense, but some questions are better left unanswered rather than
answered incorrectly.
No blast me for pointing out the obvious.
