You are right, POVers are an excellent community. I read these forums a lot,
but as I am just learning POV my questions are fairly basic. I find that
usually I can just search for it and someone has already posted something
similar that gets me going. Only once did I actually ask a question, but it
was answered within an hour.

Sorry, I haven't gotten into the signatures yet... I'll have to try some.
