Would it be okay with you to spread these TSB's onto other forums as well? Or if I just gave them parts of it (typed out some things but not others)?

No I'm not leading anyone over here. I'm just going to save the files and transfer them over to the other boards. I'm not going to do them all though, I don't care about them as much as princess cares about us :) If they want something they come ask me and I'll post it up.
