Wow . . . great resource -- thanks!!
BadThad: a very nice and nicely detailed explanation. I really appreciate it, thanks!
Your post, that apparently preceded mine by just seconds, answered just about all my questions. For one, I didn't see what was so great about...
OK, well, that's useful to know. Nevertheless, if I could hear some of the pros and cons, so to speak, and/or some of the issues. In the...
OK, so, I can see six steps in this (poor) pic . . . surely that's not what "FS" is referring to, is it? Can somebody enlighten me? Thanks....
