Well Suntou, thanks for the very pleasant surprise. It's good to know that somehow, a piece of advice I gave might have helped a brother progress in life. Since I am not in the habit of giving bad advice, I guess the advice that helped our brother so much must have been good. I feel humbled by this brother's kind aknowledgment and thank you for bringing this to the attention of our dear brothers and sisters on this forum. Stay blessed.
