I like, however, that a new guy is caring so much about the site.
We need more people like him helping out around here

Yes, for a new person, he is doing a magnificent job. His topic needs some adjustments, but this is a good thread and (if there's not already one posted in the Mewcomer's section) should be stickied and moved to the Newcomer's Forum. You are already proving to us that you are a caring and mature person ArmorHero! =)
