Caver Post is now gone
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?)
