Not really, I may respect some one but their advice may be no good for the situation; just my advice. :shock:

I had no real point so my point is pointless and that is my point thus being way OT.

Tis a brave or foolish man who would indeed do that.

Hmm... I see your point, Mark, and it is indeed a line!
Fine point that... I mean, line.

Fine line or fine point?
