Ah, thanks Bruce for your time, effort and the excellent detail ! I'll try to look over the config and see if I can find where that gets called so maybe I can learn to do that myself ;)
This is my first time here and I have to say you "guys" are awesome. You not only provide detailed and targeted timely responses but give the detail so that one can learn from the experience. P.S. Might a note in the book regarding this warning be helpful or maybe something else? Thanks again and all the best.
