@Army research you made some excellent posts but you were quoting troll posts of @Arulmozhi Varman that i had to delete. The same material was quoted in your posts as well so had to delete those too. That is why we always request members NOT to quote a troll post and if you need to reply, at least leave out the problem part of that post while quoting. Example:
