Hi :) We are going off-topic. Normally i quite enjoy that but in this case the o.p's problem is not yet solved.
Also i don't want to be an apologist for an awkward set-up that i don't like either. I've been told that a lot of people did pester the-powers-that-be to make the lists as they are and that the poll we took didn't get close to the same numbers of people requesting the more sensible method we used to have or some other more sensible method. The timing was really ironic for me. Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Girvin R.
