Thanks Lee and I have to agree with you. If they were properly designed, it wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not always so sure about this. I mean I'm all for conservation since wasting any resource is not a good idea, but I don't look at it from the same perspective as those who are um a little to enthusiastic about the environment. I look at it as I hate waste and I don't want to pay for something I don't need. <grin> On Jul 7, 2009, at 6:21 AM, Lee A. Stone wrote:
