hi, thanks for the warm welcome. I hope not to be too big a pain with all the questions i feel i should already know. finding the motivation to dig is going to be the hardest part i think.

Welcome to our group!
The only bad question is the one you don't ask. Then it is what to do to fix this mess I made. We have all been there.
