I got about 50 responses for that question. My problem was solved in 5 min.
Yeah, I'm an idiot. All 50 idiots that responded thought it was a waste of time

Yeah. I built it myself, learned to use it. tweaked it and will perfect it.
Weren't you just ranting about exploring and going places no one has gone
before. As Buthead said to Beavis: I'm there Dude. I've been busy doing that so
I haven't bothered with the website. Where is yours?
