Hello!

Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate it. I actually started reading about this just a little bit yesterday. I'd never even heard of this thing before, and yesterday, it was getting kind of late, and I came across that and saved the link I was reading so I could pick up where I left off again today, but I didn't have the Wiki link, so thanks much for that.
