   That wasnt a question moron, it was rhetorical...   
      
   and only '07 in here, ahh you must ber Dan C , he dissapreaed around that   
   time, witness protection eh. But as Shania says "that dont impress me   
   much" half of us here have been here since the 90's, and 2400bps modems.   
   self appointed net-cops arent welcome, you either read a post or you   
   dont, since me top posting triggers your OCD, best you dont read mine, or   
   go cry to someone who gives a fuck.
