"TaurArian", Thanks for reminding cry babies such as "Alf"...that we are
volunteers here and since these post are no good, in his opinion....makes a
person wander why he 's here, huh? May outta look at Microsofts back account,
compared to your pocket change, "Alf"....or why not apply for a job with
Microsoft since you have all the answers...."pee brain"...Ha! Much luck!
