Life's too short pamela. If I knew the answers, I'd give them straight away and would hope that others would do the same. The sooner a topic is resolved, the sooner others can benefit from looking though and understanding the completed discussion (even if they don't physically participate).

A forum where people don't respond? Now... that would just be frustrating.
