Sorry about that, Mr. Laconic2 -- I typically respond quickly and I'm sure that as is the case with e-mails, that what I'm thinking and what a reader is thinking could be entirely different. I'll try to be more careful. If I stop learning in this forum, I'll stop writing -- it is my primary purpose here. And you are among my favorite contributors. smiles. --dawn Received on Sat Oct 23 2004 - 20:08:36 CEST
