Not too wild about people going around smelling poisonous gasous spewing out of my machine though, just doesn't seem right

Status: offline 		thats good i can switch. the reason also that i might as well switch is that the lhs doesnt always have the trinity in so i will just switch to the o'donnel which they always have in stock.
