actually, i think it is better if it isn't sticky... when people search for FAQ, they can find it and then read it.

thanks, it wasn't too much effort. i feel like i should contribute in a small way and make this place a better world... (wipes tear )

i'd like to expand on it some more, of course. so if anyone has any suggestions, please PM me.

Well done.

Thanks, Young,
You should be on several payrolls for doing all of that. I also think it should be a sticky (not really sure what that entails) because all the potential and new buyers are going to continue to encounter the same situations and have the same questions that we all have had. This forum has been going long enough that I am already forgetting some of the earlier issues and find that I need to revisit some questions. Hey, it happens to us oldsters.
