Same here, I probably should have said that a little more clearly :)

That's what I meant when I said that.. if no one would have ever told me
that Tim wasn't an "adult" a never would have guessed otherwise, Same
with Bram, though I don't have as much contact with Bram has I have had
with Tim.

I think in the long run we can all get along here and make this place
feel like home :)

Tim, You need to fix that bug in your poster SW that is not referencing quite correctly! :-) I keep having trouble finding your replies. Well, found it so here I am.
