the great thing about MT'g is you always learn -doing this 23+ yrs and there were things I was doing wrong for years, cause I just didn't know, and back in 1985 the AAMT Book of Style was 85 pages long - I HAVE ONE....*l* It's a never-ending field for learning for me, really all of us if you think about it, all the time and if I can help, I want to help; yet I'm still not as knowledgeable as some other posters, so I keep an open mind to keep on learning....*S*
