I'm simply better informed on these issues than you are.
That's fact - not spin.
Spin is relative to how and what rotation one does it.
ETA: - Pretty good for someone who has been here for a month. Normally our Group Disruptors sign up just to call us N-Bombs. I thank you for not resorting to that.
