yes, it's what I often forget to do when using the toilet, especially if I have a hot date later that night.

actually I can't do any of the skills people talk about on this board. but i have people that can, it's my job to figure out what's possible and doable and then delegate. so that's why my questions are so stupid--it's because i'm stupid. but lucky for me, i've got all these smart people that work under me and even smarter people that inhabit these boards. i'm one of those guys who stands on other people's shoulders and then takes all the credit.
