gummyshark... if you don't want to answer these questions then don't

It might be nicer just to direct someone to the forum search. Yeah, people should learn to use the search but a lot of them don't even know that it exists.

mmmm--Ok, thought I did suggest some reading might be in order.--but asking me to be "nice" is going a bit far.

I am a newbie on this forum, and was testing the water,which may be too shallow for me. I was wondering if someone would jump in and rescue what's his name.

What passes for my wit is facetious, sardonic and acerbic.

I will do my best not to attack people personally, but will comment ,if I wish on some behaviour.

Birdy: Are you a moderator? If so, I will take some notice of you. If not it may come as a surprise that I am not at all interested in your expectations.
