In the future, the FAQ at the top of the forum is there for a reason.

Yeah... But no one ever looks at FAQ's. There were FS and CFS FAQ forums once, they got used about twice before just sitting there for a couple of years before they got deleted because they were pointless.

Course, thats nothing against your FAQ writing abilities.  :)

Don't apologise ...nothing to be sorry for...keep asking questions
A teacher gets asked the same questions every year.....a good teacher doesn't say read the FAQing book! He'll tell them the answer and say if you want to know more read this book.  The purpose of the book is to support the teacher not replace him.

Not having a go at you Cameron you give out excellent advice... just don't want folks to feel they can't ask questions!!

Ever since AutoPilot left, I kind of picked up in his footsteps. Though if I'm a teacher, then NickN is the grand master.
