A quick run through your last several posts shows no problems. Now we just have to figure out what's different between you and a few others. ;)

Most recent. Track the thread header from post to post and look at RM9s. I'll try to remember to link them here when I see them.

Just a note there. The problem wasn't likely with Formix post but rather msteelers reply. He had another post go loopy
