No Alias, I "didn't" quote the site by providing the URL because I've been
there several times, even posted the information about it, and you've said
you won't read it since it means you have to register to see it. As it's
fairly obvious to anyone that really cares or doesn't have some anti-ms
agenda I don't see the need to go back to the site, search through the
various links/pages and then paste another link you won't read. I didn't
bookmark the site, I didn't really think it was that important since
anyone that cares can find it too.
