You really want to ask this question in a thread that is 30 pages long and the subject matter goes from scrambled eggs to zebra poop?
Do yourself and others that may have this same issue (because it's not a "dumb" question) and start a new thread. This way, your name is attached as the OP (original poster)+ it will be easier to find...as well as getting better replies because the actual subject matter will be in the title. Someone with the answers to your questions may never click on this thread to answer you because their expectation is that this thread is about dumb questions.
Starting your own thread will also make the replies and the thread eaiser to find...instead of being buried in a multi-topic, 30 page, multi-year thread.
Just a thought.
