Lysimachus--did you want to scrap this one and start over? You can always edit your opening post (even the title) and start a new topic entirely!
Again, should you want to do this, get back to us by January 31, 2006 or let us know otherwise! We enjoy promoting good topics and are in no way trying to discourage you. This allows me to practice my "teaching" skills as I also need to think about how to best express myself!
