Glad they weren'...We are Very Important Indeed. <br />Glad they weren't a complete waste of time. I agree with you on the solutions not always being exactly up to par with the rest - would LOVE to be the original editor and fight her on that. <br />Read her latest for work and it's quite strong as well! <br />Enoreply@blogger.com
