No, because then I would have had to search for the answer/ thread myself.
I did give you a very useful tool so that you can now do your own research on certain topics, instead of looking like a spoiled brat that wants everything handed to him. I could have just told you to search, noob. But, I didn't.
Good luck with your future.

PS thanks for only seeing the bad in what was essentially a helpful reply to your question
