Dude! Welcome back! I'd say 'embrace the power of the Dark Side', but to each his own. <img align=absmiddle src='images/smilies/wink.gif' alt='Wink'><br />

   

but which one is the dark side? <img align=absmiddle src='images/smilies/razz.gif' alt='Razz'><br /> <br /> So long as your experience has given you greater insights, it's definitely not a bad thing to have explored other viewpoints. I doubt you're exactly back where you started, and it would be unfortunate if you were. Feel free to bring more of the conservative viewpoint to the discussion here, even if only as devil's advocate.<br /> <br /> Welcome back! Hopefully you'll find the changes to your liking.
