Read the rules if you want to know what we can and can not do.

He sure was. He was the real deal and, from his posts, you can tell. He wrote that way to aid the reader. There's a name for that style of writing, I can't recall it at the moment. I used to type out like a programmer on a computer forum that I used to frequent for Mac users who were into audio recording. It helps them get through the instructions and steps easier as it guides the eyes down the page. It's a technique that has a very specific name but, for the life of me, I can't remember what they call it now.

Me personally, I don't like that style of posting but,

some do
prefer to
write in the
block style. I find it a little disjointed to be honest. Paragraphs are good.

I don't cut and paste unless it's a link or, it's a process flow then, yes, I copy and paste but, I dupe from my own forum posts- not from the web.

Again, thanks for all the comments.

If I wanted you gone you would be. I actually talked an Admin out of banning you not too long ago. What was I thinking?

We have 3 mods in here right now and no need for another. Mods are selected on more than just their knowledge or helpfulness. Large sums of cash must change hands.
