compared to every other forum i have visited it is... it only searches for titles and need to go to advanced to search for words in the contents, other forums do that from the basic search .. so in my opinion its shit |

| Quote: | | | | | | | | | | I know who lost this! A rather eccentric but brilliant musician, who would as likely forget his trousers. He was beside himself when he lost the violin - he thought it had been stolen, but really had no idea. Yes it was worth millions...
