Ok, ok. It was me.












Not really.

Yes, it could be a team: demik, mkawa, ?, ?, ...
Then demik is right when he says "it's not me", for the answer should be "it's {mkawa, demik, ... }".
One of them got a few pounds of these AF key caps, shared some with others and set up the plan.
So, demik, are you one of them ?
mkawa, are you one of them ?

I don't have the time nor the money to do this. If it was me, I'd tell everybody it was me. Trust me.

I don't trust you tho. But its ok, truth is it was me.



JK it wasn't.

Now everyone saying it's them so might as well join in..    it was me! =P
I am sparticus!

JK, wasn't me.
