BTW, when I wrote "I suspect even I can point out the flaw in that last suggestion," it was because I was aware of the situation (though perhaps not all of the excruciating details given above ;-) ) from Julia's earlier messages on the topic. -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home. -- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
