This is the key point that was not coming across to me, at least not until much later in the exchange. Speaking only for myself, I seriously misunderstood what you were asking and why, which greatly colored my responses. I'm still not certain that we've given you the best answer to this question, but I'm hoping that you'll be able to synthesize something that you will then be able to contribute back to the community, and we will hopefully be able to avoid these kinds of problems in the future -- at least with respect to this one particular issue. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 Founding Individual Sponsor of LOPSA.
