I don't know about we, but I can speak for myself when i say: Yes i just don't want to put words in anybody's mouth, thus "i suspect" as opposed to "this is a fact", but you should know the difference, you seem to be fairly inyelligent. > >>Jonas "king smiley" > >Self proclaimed King of positive thinking? I see you read at CTF :) well i consider myself to be a positive person if that's what you mean? I also try to steer clear of indulging in negative thinking, since that will get me nowhere.
