Hi Julian, If you stick around long enough you will find that we also poke fun at ourselves. Most of us have been here for a while. Usually the ones who leave don't know how to have fun or get offended easily. For me, I need a good laugh at least once a day. I'm not into technical stuff. It's too much clutter for my scattered brain anyway. So I tune in here and read nearly every day and save the mail I think I might need for future reference. Don't be surprised if you get razzed for your mail. Just don't sign off in a huff. Stick around. This is the most 'fun' group with good information I've found so far. ;o) Shyrell Melara For the Quality You Deserve!
