wow, been thinking about this for a few days. . . 1) ELS - you are doing a great job and I appreciate your patience with all of us, and our never ending amount of questions and desire to make TW do what we want.
2) I feel sorry for this person being frustrated, and if this person continues using TW they will most likely end up here with questions about customization of some sort. I can remember a conversation I had with ELS about video chat and the internet, and how the web allowed people to do great and not so great things - this would be one of the not so great things. . .
