Yip that’s right I deleted that post I started, as I’m sure Chris will say I’m flaming or something and next thing it’ll be ‘WHIPPY YOUR BANNED!’ NOOO!!!, that’s right I now live in permanent fear

but I’ve kept the very helpful link to that paper ‘ravingfool’ gave me (quite an interesting read)

You're refers to 'you are'. Your refers to an object usually, such as 'your car'.

Hope that is helpful and in no way condesending (sp?)

You may infer that I'm implying something here .

this has got me in the past so I looked it up.

license is the verb.
