I just wanted to say thanks to the regulars for all their help on here. I know you guys get annoyed with all the translation questions etc. but it really does help those of us who are just getting started.
I for one am only beginning to explore my background and very much appriciate sites like this.
thanks again!

I think you'll find that most of us actuall like answering questions here, and at the risk of sounding pretentious, you're welcome!
