    Well, just so you know, you can start by using "I" with a capital letter, since that is proper grammar and suggests that our Canadian education system is not that bad.

    Hey , is that all you have to say , i know i cant spell in English very well ,im French Canadian . Ronnoco i think you should start using decaf coffee. All i want is a little info wich i will probably get from some caring person who does not really care how i spell. Dude you must have a disease of some kind and its spreading in this forum at a alarming rate especialy in every thread you answer in . So sit back and take a look at your miserable little self and let those who enjoy life enjoy!

    Sorry it took me so long to get back you Samuari.

    I've been busy the last couple of weeks. But I'm back to my "normal" routine now.

    Contact Walterick or Natatbeach for how to add the logo to your signature. (If you want to, that is.)

    Re: How do i ?

    Hello all...at the top of this page is the logo to use. Right click on the picture, select properties, and then drag over the location, right click the selection and "copy". Close the dialog box, and open your account and edit your signature. Click in the edit box to ensure that you have it selected, then select the icon at the top of the page with the picture (looks like and envelope, really) on it. Right click on the highlighted "http://" and select "paste". Click OK (or whatever it says to accept). You can then enter your number above or below whichever works for your signature.
    If you need any further help...please feel free to ask.

    May I become one as well?
    I used to shoot with an FM2T (titanium) and an N80, 14 f2.8, 24 f2.8, 50 f1.8, 35-70 f2.8, 70-210 f4. Sold it all to get out of debt(sigh) and picked up a 5700. Now I have an N70 w/ 18-70. Oh how I miss my old glass and that FM2T.
    Pity me! Make me a Samurai!

    Hi Spec A...give speed a day or 2 to get back to you...I'll keep an eye out and if he doesn't get to you soon, I'll try to get ahold of him.
