I know a thimbles worth, barely.

it investigates.

Usually I would go to Paypal and create a link to send them,

ie: Click here to pay $100 to Mike...

He's being very very helpful. He's used to talking to people that don't

Overly helpful. Smelly helpful. Fishing for things helpful.

If you are bored, have fun with him.
