This way we have a conversation, and I get alerted to your responses/it's easier for me to respond. Basically, when you view convo and reply you actually post the VM to my profile, when you don't, you're just posting it to your own profile. xP
If you're interested in making an actual lightsaber let me know. I'm gonna be arranging a little adventure of sorts where a few Padawans go looking for crystals (or making their own) and afterwards we might make some hilts.
