Welcometo OS, but please in the future read the forum rules. I understand where you are comming from but the last thing we need around here are 100 "hey Ian" threads jsut becasue we know he is a regular. "Mom! MOM! Momma! Mom, mom momma, mommy!" It can get annoying quickly.
If you have a question, just post it. if he reads your post and is compeled to reply, he will. if it very important to you, send him a PM he normally answers, at least to the best of his ability/what he is allowed to answer.
