Drats...and I wasn't around to enter the contest. I just saw it this evening. Congrats deadmummy. Just don't drink it all at once...I hear it...
Well, naturally my first answer is going to be a question... What are you using it for? It makes a difference in how I respond...really.

Okay, it was a little rough. Sorry jessash. I gotta learn that people learn and we all started out knowing very little. I have to go back to...
I'm all cool...don't worry. What people grow to understand about me is that I am ALWAYS there to help if people want to learn, but I give the...

Is there any way I could coerce you into changing the title of this part of the forum from "Error Coins" to "Errors and Varieties"? Much more is...
