Well, that is true. I learned at work. So, I do it whenever Rocky needs it. I do it countless times at work though. So, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing in that area. I was just curious if anyone else knew "how" I didn't think it was too, too hard to get the hang of it. You can also look and tell usually if it needs expressed. :/
