sorry if i upset you, i didn't think there was anything wrong with responding to my own post on a forum. i thought it was better to actually interact. i let tons of replies go by before i even came back to say thanks to people who dedicated a few paragraphs just to answer my questions. i do the same thing to my email list, i tell them thank you in an email, or you're welcome, and that will be the end of an email. i thought it was just being courteous. if there is in fact a rule about saying thank you too many times honestly i will stop, and i appreciate your help. other than that, i would personally appreciate it if you would not find yourself checking up on me friend. thank you
