hmmmmmmmmm well, a few of us (me included) don't have what anyone would call "social graces". me, personally, I tend to come off as obtuse or arrogant most of the time. Those that know me real well tend to just chalk it up to a personality quirk (which it is). To the newbies of the group: don't let these little quirks of ours put you off. most of the time, a little thick skin and some affitional questions will be more than enough to break the ice (so to speak). as for me, I am going to go back into lurker mode (just got my router working after it hosed its dns cache).
