No offense taken guys, I'm guilty as charged. And I think i got the  
message, as you noticed I created a special thread afterwards to  
apologize, while the previous hijacked thread was kept being...  
hijacked =/ by my "followers".

But quite funny though, Victor reminds me of Master Yoda saying to
