  • You caught me, I knew I couldn't hide it for this long. Check the dates though, Hahc21 is the master of this sockfarm. You also forgot to add myself TBrandley. Ryan Vesey 02:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apparently when I use multiple browsers to edit from all of my accounts at once I edit conflict with myself. ΛΧΣ Vesey 02:25, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
