I mention       this for even myself - and im guilty of just finding the answer and using it       rather than finding and understanding the answer and using it.               --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/03 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70       SEEN-BY: 221/0 227/114 229/354 426 452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 250/3 267/800 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/0 1 100 330 340       SEEN-BY: 772/0 1 210 500 2452/250 5020/545       PATH: 770/100 1 280/464 229/426           |
