I try to keep my answers as short and to the point as I can, the only thing that perhaps holds me back is that I have a tendancie to ramble a lot, and there is no harm to use big words to sound inteligent, its even better if you can spell them correctly, I would love to seriously improve my spelling but unfortunatly Ray has eaten all of the dictionarys LOL
