Thanks. I've gotten a lot from these threads (and the forum) in the past. This is my little way of giving back.

would be cool to make a sticky out of it.

i can't even imagine having a resource like this 20 years ago.it would have changed my life i think.

Can we sticky this thread? Or is that asking too much? There's a bunch of great stuff in here.

Nice! I third the motion to make this thread sticky.
