Chris,
Thanks for the plug--I have lots of battens and can ship them.
On the word "Gank", I did a little research. Got this definition from some Rastafarian dictionary:
Gank - "To Steal, Rip Off, Jack." This word was made popular by the N.W.A. song "I Ain't Tha 1," "...Ganked means getting took for your bank Or your gold or your money or something..." It's etymology is not known for certain as far as I can tell, but I speculate that it is related to "gang," developed from "ganged up on" or something similar to "ganged" and eventually "ganked." The g/k shift is well known, and it fits with the Black vernacular useage of such phrases as "gang-bangin'," etc..
Of course, the skandanavian word (swe dialect) for Gank is: a lean half-starved horse.
Thought you might find that interesting.
So, no, your blocks weren't "ganked up", You just plain blew it. It was user error--that's what you get for bashing my blocks!!

I, on the other hand, had no excuse for my poor performance..
