Thank you Ranger Capellanus. Taken to heart.

Them thar words are words of Gold Gentlemen.

All Y'all should Hand Write (read-don't just hit the print button) this post that Ranger Capellanus has been so gracious to give you. And then stick it to your bathroom mirror, and read it every day...then, when it get's all screwed up and nasty from your Hair Gel, Hand Cream, and Foo Foo juice, rewrite it and place it there again.
Just a little hint....
