I simly meant the general information about welding certification on the front page was applicable to the welding certification subforum, so I posted a link there. What I found funny, was three of us finding it worth posting in three places for three reasons.

Nope the 12 is ours. We were going to get married on a Friday until she saw it was the "dreaded 13th". :lol:
