    I'm not a bracket, or a parenthesis. I'm a brace, and disgusted that you lumped me in with the others :P

    I immediately thought about HUB' too when reading this thread. I guess he would go for the ' obviously, but I think in a poll on him, the ? would win DONT start a poll pleeeaase!

    We all love you HUB', don't ask us why :wink: Never leave this forum, you are something like what the castle is to Disneyland (all of you resist the need to post possible descriptions of what the castle is to Disneyland, HUB''s our friend! And yes that sentence needed two ' marks!)
