Not really ... I know enough not to be stupid.
There's enough ppl who flame for not trying the basics first or Googling a bit. Like I said, there was not going to be a fire as a result of trying what I was proposing, so there was little harm in trying.
Not a luxury I have with a baby on the way in 6 weeks and a sh*t-load of other stuff needing urgent attention!!
