Some people spend all there time trying to get noticed at what they do and take on things that they are not good at just to get there. From what I read that isnt anywhere or anything that your trying to do, which inturn in itself is a real respectfull act that more people these days should try to follow. So with that being said, I wish you the best of luck on everything your going to encounter in the future. As this bar has been set higher hopefully more people will try to follow this great example. Best of luck & wishes: --c0ldbyte -- ( When in doubt, use brute force. -- Ken Thompson 1998 )
