And always capitalize the first word in a sentence.

As a newb don't come across as adversarial, especially if your views run counter to those of the forum--that is unless you like being hazed severely. Review the forum rules.

Hmm. The cowboy video Eeset linked to didn't work when I was on my IPAD but I see it works fine now that I'm on a desktop.

- Do not always assume the poster embedded wrong. It might be you that is the problem.

That's one of my pet peeves.

That figures...it's the very one I realized I've been guilty of. :noid:


edit to add - I'm guilty of ending my sentences with a preposition. I'm also guilty of lots of .......

I feel really guilty after reading this thread. I guess I'll just go back and finish my nap.
