Exactly, I know the feeling, I could use a 40 hour week just for keeping up with the ATA sutff, but getting that much time, AND having a day job that pay the bills is simply not possible. If I could have a free wish, it would be for all those that complain and use our sparse time with these endless discussions to develop the needed skills and just get on with fixing the problems themselves, *then* get back here with the solution.
