AmitPanel, I was once a noob on this forum too, without any expertise in any field at all. You have a head start on me, so to speak. I can remember though, actually I can just look it up, that I made a considerate effort into all the questions I asked on this forum. Efforts that took longer than 3 minutes.You're not here to learn, you're here just to find someone to write whatever you want for you.
