Funny how nearly every newbie question being asked lately all come from
people not using thier real names and who quote Hotmail addresses. 

Even funnier is how these innocuous newbie questions almost always have
flame inciting tendancies.

Funnier still is how many of the regulars here fail to notice this before
they begin blathering.
