        I can't have HTML in my name if I want to appear in the list of top article contributors by article count ( although as of now I'm still not in that list ), and so I changed my name at the same time. My first vote was for 'El Capitanos Des Codos' but I figured no-one would get it was me. Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

                        Thanks for the update Tom! I appreciate it. So you went from 432 pages to 848 pages!! :omg: I am glad I didn't pick up the first edition last month! You certainly did update the bejesus out of this one. :) Tom Archer wrote: I'm already hard at work on the next book You know, this brings to mind some questions I have been meaning to ask someone like yourself.
