I’m going to try to be gentle, but that’s not easy for me. I’m not trying to step on people’s toes, but I have to nip this in the bud.
This is not Free Republic and I don’t want it to become like that site.

my bad…..you totally did the right thing by nipping it in the bud….i needed that tutorial…..thank you Fred
also….please take off anything i posted that didn’t conform…..i won’t “get my feelings hurt”……please also adjust the formatting on anything i posted as you see fit….i tried to do some italics…and also some bold….and the codes seem to override each other at one point….and it didn’t appeal to me aesthetically….but i couldn’t remove it…or edit it after i posted it 🙂
