omg Martin, I am relieved! Sometimes, my posts don't make sense or ask too much or nobody finds interesting (or like you said are asked at the wrong time) or whatever, but I know from your post that this time it went alright!!!
By the way, there is a link to reply to author... should I use it AND use the link to just reply? I had made a list of places where I can get help, but had not used it. Maybe, one or two itens in the list are new to you.
