i didn't think he read it in the forum (which, by the way, he hasn't). excuse me for being impatient, but when i can't access mike's e-mail because he made it so it isn't displayed on POP professor forum, and i'm frustrated with a hundred other things going on in my mind right now, me posting this here is the LEAST of my worries. however, what does bother me, is that you just blatently embarressed me on this public forum. also, why should this be "direct?" maybe others have the same problem (according to chrisbo on the POP boards, he too has the same problem).
sorry for asking for help.
