[Joshua Brandl]

Thank you for those links... i do appreciate em... that will be a good read.. these are the kind of things that need to have a central "link hub" per-say.. the articles are all well and good.. however.. if one has to jump through several esoteric hoops in order to locate them... or have someone kind enough to provide them.. then.. well.. yeah... but thanks again for posting them...
