Nam probably has the answer. Don't use the apostrophe!
Send a message to Cat, he's extremely good on computer hiccups but I'm not sure if he's watching the blogs much.

BTW - Have you noticed...I've been confident enough to post comments on blogs...and not look/sound incomprehensible or like a robotic speaking idiot.
How's THAT for cool?
Uhhhh......Yeah......Of course.
When you put it THAT way, it couldn't be more...uhhhh...obvious.
