Sorry, for some reason, the first paragraph there got cut off, so I sound
like a rude bastard starting off my post with "Anyway,"...  I originally
started it off with, "Hey, this is my first post here.  We'll see how it

problem before I realized I should really just ask it here.  Too late,
though..."
