I would, however, be the first to agree that these things are intricately connected------!!!!!!!!!. Nonetheless, I ask that ALL of U cats just keep helping me out with my inquiries........its really all that matters to me---for my views are just that, views! If anyone ever has an issue with me, yeah hit me on the private tip(which most of ya have), so I am out.............
