I'll have you know I resemble that remark! Only thing I can count on in my body to work right these days are the aches & pains. The reason I've had time to be so active here this last week is that I just had a new cataract-free lens installed in my eye. Back to work tomorrow...

Forgive me, but I will never understand the essence of this question. To create a new topic, ask a question when you can use Google services. Well, if you're a simple troll, then everything comes to its place.

there's oh-too-many people who think that forums are just some form of "live google". it's not really trolling, just ignorance and a dose of egocentrism.
i don't mind the ignorance if it can be cured through gentle nudging towards search engine usage.
it also is a little difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff when you're new to all this.

i admit, the first post on this thread is way too vague ("i don't even really know myself what i am asking. can you help me?"), but op has asked clearer questions later on.
