   My input ?  Looking at your current work and remembering your "turorials" of   
   the past I would suggest *not* to share.   
      
   As long as you can't be arsed to put even just a few hours worth of work   
   into cleaning up your stuff and googeling if your "facts" match the   
   available documentation you should keep those "tutorials" to yourself.   
      
   As said before, you're not doing the novices - for which you claim to write   
   for and which depend on your information to be correct - any favours.  Quite   
   the opposite actually.   
      
   > If anyone has a *better* way to "clean" funky text   
      
   I already did.  Use a bit of (VB)Script, or use one of the available a   
   "stream editors".   
      
   But hey, doing as if nobody has tried to help you (and likely just waiting   
   until someone hands you what you need on a silver platter) is easier than   
   doing your own work.   
      
   In that regard, you're writing those two words wrong : Its not "we" and   
   "team", but "wie" and "teiam".   Yes, I know that they always say that there   
   is no "i" in them, but you prove them wrong every time. :-) :-(   
      
   > Including me.

   Bullshit, just like your "thousands of tutorials" claim you made.   
      
   Ah, I remember once having applied basic calculus to that one, pointing out   
   that if you would have churned out one tutorial every week you would have   
   needed 1000'nts divided by 52 equals a multiple of 20 years.   
      
   Just 2500 tutorials ?   That would have taken *your whole working life*.   
      
   And by the way : your reverting of what those six macro lines mean away from   
   what I gave you back to what you had initially guessed yourself instead of   
   trying to google if mine where perhaps correct (or hell, maybe you did!) is   
   the likely the highest level of pettyness you can reach.   
      
   But who cares, your ego takes precedence on providing novices (us) with   
   facts, right ?   Ofcourse it does. :-(
