ooooops OOPS SORRY FOR THIS, MAYBE i SHOULD OF DONE A FINER SEARCH.. I just found a post with this question already answered, I've been up all night and I guess my tiredness got the better of me. can I suggest more control over our own posts in the ""thread tool"" I'm with a few forums that have options like, deleting your post & closing your thread, just in case you find your self in the same predicament as I'm in now lol... sorry........
