"I reserve the right to answer the question the way I think that the question needs to be answered. It is that simple." "Think of me before you ask a question, Ram" I dont know who made you the God of this forum. Last time I saw it was Steve who was the moderator. If I have to ask basic questions, I think I will ask, I am sure I will find many people to answer them here.
