I'm sure you noticed my sudden decrease in posting over the past three weeks (hm, ithink iShould go throught the welcome forum, iKnow iMissed a whole bunch), as I was doing some school stuff that drove me up the wall and limited my time to viewing the forum, commenting on only relavant threads, and disappearing in short order.



anyways, onward to the report...
