I know just what you're talking about, Rich. Sometimes you just have to pet or rub on your machine, just to get it to do what you want. I talk to mine too. No real reason as to why it works, maybe they can feel it...

as for the fat dumb lazy momma's boy, he just needs a swift kick in the a$$ instead of a lecture, he probably doesn't get it and never will

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
