Well I guess with me longer owning a 300SDL, I shouldn't be called 300SDLTOM. I've changed my User Name to "Benster Tom"

Don't skip this just because it looks weird. Believe it or not you can read it.

yes, I tugtoht it odd taht "300SDLTOM" dnidt eevn own a 300SDL...

But, I had no ieda taht you cluod cghane yuor uesr nmae... HOW?

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid!

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorant.

You have way to much time on your hands my friend.

Well, my whole post "wasted" a total of 20 kb. 20kb, is really not too incredibly bad, compared to some of the other posts ive seen, not to mention the entire forum entitiled "Open discussion" I dont think that we are tight on bandwidth.

I thought It was pretty intresting, and wanted to share with my fellow forum members.

How did this thread get so far off topic from a name change to spelling? I smell a highjacked thread.
