Noe: I beleive there is a way to adjust your reknown in a file... but I dont know what file or how to change it.
Hopefuly someone that knows reads this and can give the answer.
I know ... Im not too much help...
... dont knock it means you shouldnt knock on the door when theres a doorbell...
well...serious: it ment something like: dont worry about it and be happy you got that 26K reknown...
Like you, I rather not have all that reknown than buying any and all equipment...
Rather get the renown the regular way...
