Doug,
normally that is "not" the kind of response i post to the list as i stated
somewhere in the this thread. however, that "is" the kind of response i
send to people from time to time who _assume_ they're chastising a
youngster who hasn't taken the time to do the basic, simple research that
most would do _before_ posting a quesiton on the "expert" list.
Please, by all means ask your questions, because ALL, (all being in caps
for folks who have a problem with questions that they see as assumably
unresearched - ;P ) questions are valid, relevant and accepted on this
list and the newbie list. that is, after all, why the list is here.
So, Doug...please don't let my scolding of Hoyt deter you in any way from
taking advantage of the collective knowledge of those who read this list.
Including, from on occasion, myself.
