I've read up about posting ettiquette, etc and hope I can stay within the bounds and continue to learn from here. I'm a Mod on a large sports car forum with one the largest OT sections on the web so I know how it can be /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've lost my share but I've also placed in almost as many, winning a couple to boot....getting easier to put people on hands and spot the bad players, at least a little worse than me.
