you hit it on the nail there, mc - I'd up my "ppd" if more of the threads were angry rants about nothing. I used to be, still am now, and will always be a lover of useless information. Did you know that every year 2500 left-handed people in the us die in workplaces due to machinery designed for right-handed people?

This holds special meaning for me, as i am a lefty. How many of u guys are lefties?

time to reorganize my sig, so that it is more legible...

Yes it is exciting, isn't it! All those regulations and safety meetings.
