My recollection is that most people who ask a lot of questions come from this group - we need to encourage them. One guy is a blind man with a French language background and reads the book in braille - getting LFS to where he could ask sensible questions is an amazing feat. I don't expect Niki will have any trouble - his English is excellent - and he is planning ahead. R. "No plan survives contact with the enemy" Gen.
