Thanks, SmokeEater. Your explaination is quite a relief for me.

But, do you guys all agree with this, Snakeeye, BktReff or other gentlemen who helped me before? The reassurances from you guys are always what I've been seeking for.

Also I tried to find the defination of "palming" in the rulebooks of all levels but of no avail. Nevertheless, everybody uses it a lot. Could you guys help me on this too? because I found out that different person uses this word differently.

Thanks.
