Well, the forum has a HUGE following so there are quite a few people on-line at anyone time. I almost never respond in the Intro section but I got a chuckle out of your brevity.yosef said:

Just click on "forums" for a listing of all the forums on the site, choose the one you want to post in and click on "Post New Thread". You'll have a few hours (I think it is) to edit you posts, after which they are no longer open to editing, and the subject line is never open to editing so be particularly careful that you get it the way you want it.yosef said::-) its a crazy world..

EDIT: and by the way, do NOT forget to read the rules. This is one site where they actually mean something.

Also please try to use standard english words and no abbreviations like "ty". When I first saw it, I thought you were mentioning someone's name Ty as in Tyrone Power (1940's screen actor)

Yes, No problem. I just read that in the rules link which you suggested I click on. (And I capitalized 'I' as well). Thank you again
