Can you please follow common USENET etiquette and *stop* top posting - you just top-posted on at least 3 straight messages and it makes the dialog exceedingly hard to follow. Top-posting leaves responses out-of-context and at best requires people to either remember all past messages in the thread or to read bottom-up. It is considered a common courtesy on this (and most other) newsgroups. Thank you.
