Anyway, I for one am not very good when it comes to queries, and I have to thank you Lady Elana for your awesome ninja like skills when it comes to queries. I will even do this in my blog post on Friday (I can tell the future!). If you want to stop by my blog and take a look at my query for RKDG on Friday please do so. It is the one I did right after the changes you suggested. Thanks again.Ryan S.
