If you dont want to answer directly, can you forward me to where this information is given. I dont mind reading but google didnt tell me much Thankies
I am assuming I asked a really dumb "captain obvious" question here, but if someone could take the time to answer something it would really be appreciated. I just have no clue what i am looking at. sorry to bump this, but i waited 24 hours. I hope this is ok in bumping.
