no i didn't find any of that wrong at all...and i really want to explain why but i can't. I wish i was more adept at verbally explaining things that are in my head, but i'm at a loss...i know if i tried i would sound like an idiot. Maybe if i find another post where someone explained it well, i will cut and paste it...*sigh*..i need to go back to school...
