multple post replies (was Super Cap-not really...
aw come-on guys,
sometimes it's easier to post a reply
when you read the first e-mail, then
after you post, you get to see that someone
else answered a minute before you, but your
answer was more clear, or less.... : )
and if you would please, change the post subject
when you change the topic.
Thanks and keep the repies and re-repies comming !
