As you can see, I am not being detailed in my postings. It is a deliberate act on my part. I am a strong believer of a two way communications. By engaging ourselves in a two way communication there is a high possibility that we can learn something new from each other. As such, you should feel free to comment on my postings or give me any feedback which should not only be limited to compliments. Pointing out my shortcomings or ineptness will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
