Yes, Curt = SpeedRacer
LSP972 is an admitted curmudgeon (just look at his user title). But he knows what he's talking about. We're all on the same team here, though some people come off as harsh when the subject matter is important to them. Did LSP972 candy coat his response? No. But I agree entirely with him (in fact we both said much the same thing). I just have a tender touch, while LSP prefers the "I'm too old to worry about offending people" approach.
If you look at his first post, he's only got one sentence in the whole post that addresses the question, albeit it was the type of information that I needed. Other than that sentence, I think he's provided little to the conversation and I'm actually quite surprised that's he even put forth the effort to open the thread and type responses when there has been nothing constructive (save for that one sentence).
But I do see where you are coming from.
