    Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

                OMG TY to the TS, WTG. This might be OT but it's really a PITA reading posts and then stops WTHDTM. WTF there's TMI here and everyone's have their POV, CMIIW. So IMNSHO and AFAIC I suggest this topic be placed on the main page of the forum.
