I think Ron, that you may have just achieved something that even Gerard Houllier has failed to achieve for me these last 2 years, you've made me go 'aaarggghhh - the man's a fool'. Now admittedly I don't say this of people often, the mote in your own eye and wotnot, but really. The advice that Howard provided was clear, accurate and - a bit of a clincher this one - worked as advertised for the original poster. In contrast yours was clear, but suffered rather from being inaccurate and pointless.

What technical 'evidence' was that exactly - your misreading of a post 5 days after Howard's advice had been followed and found to work, or what? The truth is there is none is there.

Is this a debate about technical correctness or personality and "names"? If the former then fine - though it would appear from all the available evidence that you and that big voice in the sky are ploughing a lonely furrow. If the latter then sheesh lifes too short.
