I sent you a private message yesterday with few questions, but as I read in your profile, you don't have too much time to read the messages (I'm not blaming). About this sentence, I checked it first at search box in Portuguese, and English and said it didn't exist in the site, so I posted, but it seems it was already posted. Please be free to delete mine, if it is better for the site.
