Thanks from all of us Jim, We all need to be reminded of what brought us here and why we continue to stay. If I had been flamed with the first (what now seems stupid) question, I'm sure I would never have returned. Instead, I was met by knowledgeable folks that took the time to explain and answer in a kind way, just like we try to continue to do today.

Its kinda hard to keep it clean when your posting about a problem because your toy is broke.

This is the only forum I read where people dont get flamed for asking stupid questions, I should know Im one of em.

Thank you for the reminder.

When I posted this early this morning I had a feeling that the ones who posted here were the ones who didnt need to be reminded.

But.............with 345 vies on the thread I hope that some of them were by the ones that needed to be reminded.

Thanks for making this a great place to hang you hat!!

I noticed that this section of fte is really great for new members and what not.

I was recently involved in a discussion in another section of fte where it apparantly is common for one guy to ask silly questions, in a non polite way, and for others to answer with insults and almost demanding proper grammar and spelling! I could not believe my eyes, and couldnt help but respond!

I love the 7.3 section, that talk is very rare and everyone treats others with so much respect that its almost unbelievable.

Jim my hats off to you as well for being one hell of a ~bleeeeeping~ Moderator!
