You sure? \ Something doesn’t smell right. Not right at all. How would a newbie know such things? Care to explain? I must warn you, though, that whether you’re concrete’s latest or not, your moniker isn’t gonna make you too popular with most of us, simply due to assosciation. If you’re clean, though, then welcome! 🙂 ---

Yeah . . . I, uh, strongly recommend you change your SN. Strongly. Not that you should listen to me, but I seriously doubt I’ll be the last to suggest it. ---

You are most welcome. Seriously, I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the user name, the registration date, and the reference to “that other guy” are most suspicious. I’m not going to jump all over you- if you ARE concrete/grimhacker you’ll show your true colors soon enough. If you aren’t, then, well, welcome. You’ll have to excuse our suspicion and our frequent use of :rolleyes:. ---
