    Maybe wasn't burnt, but it might have gotten hot.

    Hey Scott take a look at the different forums before you post a theard. Then pick the one that is most appropriate for your question or information. This is the introduction theard. You'll get more response that way. And check out the archives. Great information there. Good luck.
