Sorry Guangui but I am the same guy whom you directed this comment to the other day? Most mfg's list all professional reviews(positive ones anyways ) on their homepage and are easy to find.

Want to thank Billy P for pointing me in the right direction.
No problem, no harm done, maybe egos bruised…

Patrick, thanks, it is good to know that you can take some “fire”, and still keep a cool head.
Billy, you are right, I didn't read complete, was waiting to do that when I had more time. Those things happen, what I cannot understand is that “I'm bigger that everyone else” attitude…“ I ceratinly wasn't going to link it for him.” You showed your true colors with that comment.

I think I worded my thoughts incorrectly, at least my head knew what I was trying to say.
Anyway Guangui I believe this may be the review you were referring too.

That would be the review. I bet I took you all but 5 minutes if you go to the PSB homepage and look under reviews. I ceratinly wasn't going to link it for him.
