@EdisonExploratorium

Hi, I would like to have more information from you, where can I pay?

[EdisonExploratorium]

@gissign Ha ha! you make me laugh, YouTube is free right? Am I wrong? :) So what right does anyone have to demand more content if you don't pay for product? And watch your dirty classless language or you'll get blocked and all past comments erased.
