Hey, Apotheosis... nice to see you making yourself useful. :wink:
I don't visit this sub-forum, but just dropped by to see how you're settling in. Good on ya, mate.
 
Thanks danger, I am a helpful sort of chap, but I also enjoy a debate.:wink:
 
As do we all. Okay, man... this really isn't my place, so I won't be revisiting the forum unless I have a problem to solve. (Since I'm a Mac guy, that's not likely. :-p)
