Hi Juan, Thank you for your reply. Sincerely sorry for my late application, you know that's really not pleasing. But I think that increase my enthusiasm at the same time. I will keep focus and spend more time on it as I'm just getting start in the community. I love it even more when it seems to be a challenge :)
