Alright Already! This topic is hot! Le'ts drop this subject, we're
tryin' our best here and as for me, I personally do exelent scans as
far as validation is concerned and I'm a newby as well, so sorry for
any flaws that may come your way when scanning, as is I'm totally
blind, and granted I think we are goin' nowhere with this topic as I
had previously mentioned. Let's back off and steer in another
direction. No cat and dog fights, please?
