Well, Lisa, since you seem to be "superior" than those of us who
have done this for years, I guess I'll just leave your novice
attitude to those that are more willing to put up with your
inexperienced and haughty tone.
And by the way, honey, get a Thesaurus and learn to word your
questions more accurately with a more appropriate choice of words.
Also if you're going to use upper case in Congo, Timneh should
also receive the same respect. Also, there are two d's
in "additionally."
That's all and good luck. You're going to need it.
