This has been dealt with about 5 or more times in the last month. I can't for the life of me believe that if you had tried to search that not ONE of those threads came up.

All I want, the only thing I want is for people to read before they post. If you just don't understand, I don't mind repeating myself. For heaven's sake in the future jsut do a common plain old search.

We don't have different names for things. I appreciate that you feel as if you have no clue. That's why we are here. A long time ago I would have given various parts of my anatomy for a fourm like this. Each of us has been there.

However, you do have to make an effort to try and find things. Merely reading each of the headers in the various forums would have gotten you loads of posts and information.

It *IS* nice to meet you, it *IS* nice to have you here. I'm just cranky about seeing the same question over and over again.

Take a day to just read some of the posts in the different fourms, and a lot of your questions will be answered. If you need clarification on something, ask and we'll point you in the right direction or explain it.

I am sorry that I chewed you out, but try to understand that we have seen this question a million times, and answered it almost as many.
