Hey Longwoo,

You are right about being free to say you were successful
with SP2. I was also, however I am not parading that here.
The sense of this forum is to help others with problems,
else it would not exist.

You do not help those in trouble just saying that
everything worked as it should. Pablo is right, if you
cannot say something that will help them, better be quiet
or go for a beer some where else.
