All yours. Be patient tho, it looks like things have slowed down just a bit.

Don't forget to declare specificity.

Good question. Main problem is I'm not going to fast forward thru a video to ensure accuracy. So I guess... if you take a screen capture of a video and post that in a photobucket account, then link to it as your final answer, a steal would be next to impossible.

I think I'd be willing to allow that.
