Thanks Lobster, I'm going to go through this slowly. It's a pleasure to talk with you. As you may know Jan sultan the owner of the sufimystic list decided about a year ago that he didn't want to deal with the public so much. Since then one moderator quit, another went into a sulk, Zen is still helping, but mostly I've been dealing with the people there. And it's very hard to just talk to people these days. You ask a question or make a comment & they take it personally & blow up on you. Steve
