In fact, I'm a beginner too I wouldn't worry, guys, about being "amatures" or beginners. I don't think there are any "professionals". Your stuff is as good as anybody else's, whether I like it or not. Same for everybody else. Post away whatever you like, whenever you like. It's free, and you might be surprised at who does like it. A lot more people "read" this news group than post to it. You've crossed the line into posting.... Maybe that does make you profesionals, after all. Keep it up, and good luck.
