Ugh :( Thanks so much for the grammer fixes, they are much appreciated.

One of my goals in life is to never use a ';' in a sentence, and after writing 2 books without them, I thought I achieve that pretty well as I never seem to remember when they are to be used or not. But I'll trust you on this and use it here. thanks again for the review, much appreciated. greg k-h
