You bet it's a beginner's forum and because of that it'd do us all some good to qualify as much as possible. To say that "it's ok" to do something isn't really what we ought to be doing here. We really ought to say it's ok but.... and fill in the "buts" every chance we get.

As for "belittling"..... sorry if you took anything I said as belittling because it wasn't meant to be anything other than clarification. I have noticed that the written word is really vulnerable to individual's own interpretations. And some people are really quick to read "with insight" words that aren't there. But I apologize if I offended you. And I wasn't belittling anyone. Whenever you don't agree and state your own side, that's not belittling, it's stating your own side. Adding happy faces and <grin> and <chuckles> are meant to lighten up the text. If you don't see them that way.... hey, chuckle.... far be it from me.... grin........

BTW, if you have any further personal advice, I'm just a pm away.
