gonzogolf dumb remark memorialized More info | Feb 28, 2011 16:39 | #2 Get to a bookstore, or library and find a book called understanding exposure by Bryan Peterson. Its the absolute best source for those questions. Its not that I'm not trying to be helpful by giving a fuller answer, but you've asked more than can be done in a simple answer.

Feb 28, 2011 19:11 | #7 First of all it's nice to see how helpful everyone is to new users. It's funny you all suggest "Understanding Exposer". I was at the bookstore the other day and picked it up because it seemed very insightful. I must be on the right track haha.
