I too always try to help - that's why I try to post on other threads too.


I think the blogging element of threads like these is also to "spread the fun" - I often enjoy fiddling and fixing stuff and want to share that enjoyment. Sure there are times where you wish you hadn't started something but if you own up to your struggles often someone will pop up with a helpful comment to speed you back on track.
