===> Not a problem WazoO (boy, that name's hard to type!).  Jump 
away if you need to; I'm fully aware of my lack of qualifications 
and believe it or not, AM trying to keep out of it, but it's just 
so danged good a thing, I failed.  A little.  Sorta.  Maybe.  <g> 
to keep my nose in place, that is.

Actually, thanks for that.  I suspected there was going to be a 
lot I wasn't aware of or hadn't caught on to, and you did a good 
job of pointing that out, and explained a lot in the process. 
Positive criticism is a good thing and I always appreciate it, 
believe it or not, even if it was just a "starting point" for you 
to get the info out.

Doing FAQ-work is a very thankless job and the authors have to be 
really thick skinned and almost have to be able to read what 
someone meant, not what they said, sometimes.  Been there, done 
that.  I seriously wish I could devote some time to help out with 
all this because I think I'd learn a lot, maybe more than I 
wanted to even.
   It can't be though, so don't invite me <g>.  I'm very 
unpredictable and most people who know me still  think I'm an 
enigma, so ... .

Regards,

Pop
