Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 7:54 pm Much appreciated steve- its getting hard to compete against the likes of you these days, sooner or later, as Bing mentioned...I will be cought by the wife and my CCF privileges will be taken away, my debit card confiscated, my app's and links deleted, books burnt and most likely gelded. So I figure I'd get it while the gettin's is good. Report this Post to the Staff
