Then I regret asking, and I probably shouldn't have appologized to you either. I know I asked for opinions but there's a big difference between giving an honest opinion in a constructive criticising way and a just completely rude way. I wont be asking a lot of advice from this forum any more. And for you other more kind people and you should know who you are, thanks for everything. -Shelby On 4/3/07, Eric Woodall <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
