It is fine Haider. No problem at all. Your posts often give us all a heads up. :)

ZeroBump is used simply to keep the unanswered list as clean as possible. Those who are looking for logs to work or students to answer use the list to find who needs help and we like to keep it as uncluttered as possible to make life simpler.
