I wasn't knocking your choice, simply commenting on your blood pressure.
:-) After all, Moonbow is currently working with MySQL and learning all the

AFA feeling ignorant or stupid, I don't mind feeling ignorant, but I hate

Office Depot, "You're not stupid about computers. You're ignorant.
Ignorant can be fixed, but stupid's forever."
