+100 Charles. In fact it seems to me they went out of their way to stay fairly low profile about it. I think we owe them a tip of the hat and copius thanks, not a bunch of vitreolic name calling that is equivalent to biting the hand that feeds us. Thats entirely out of line, and will serve to make sure they never deal with us again. Hopefully they understand it is just one individual, one that I do not recall in roughly a decade of being subbed to this list. Or my memory has totally gone to the dogs, a possibility at my age. In any event, an apology from Andreas would not be out of line. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
