Thanks Hoot, this can't be said enough and applies to all that is on this sight, in general.

Which brings up a point. Just a thought here, but how about having to click onto a disclaimer, just to be able to get onto this sight or something like that. This would help me, as I'm am inhibited in sharing way more than I do, because of the tort and misplaced responsibilities..

I finally got around to repairing the broken image links due to changing ISP a few years ago. Still need to do Part 3
