Thanks! You are truly theeMahn. This forum is insane! btw you have a great ops going here. every time I come in here I feel like I'm learning something. always writing stuff down...my desk looks like an explosion in a paper factory...not true other places where the egos overshadow the info. Keep up the great work! "you can't stop the signal..."
