Actually, it's not the point of mine either, except that these posts are used as a training tool by many so I think in that context, you have to be careful of what people are emulating. My first ground driving experience was such a clutzy mess that I still remember it many, many years later :-)) I was very glad to have an experienced person there to help guide me. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "When you're young and you fall off a horse, you may break something.
