Pretty much a clean sweep by David and Vikram with a sprinkle of Paul! Please remember... if you get an answer you can credit the answerer by click "mark as correct answer" on their reply.
I also know that to date you have a 70% chance of getting your question answered (actually having a reply marked as an answer) here so far, there have been 2911 unique people who have actually posted, and it's very likely that you received an answer in roughly 2.5 days after you posted your question.
Eventually some of these numbers should become part of the forums application, but until then I'll make sure to post them every now and then.
Enjoy
