I am afraid that when something doesn't work, I *know* the chances are I have done something daft. I have reported me being dumb to bugs@metacard before, and have no wish to do it again. Like the time I regressed to using : instead of ; as a seperator. Grateful (as usual) for Sjoerd's input, I planned to set aside some time to triple check the problem, and *then* report the bug (which of course it now seems not to be). Honest. I was. I'll try the suggestion about the old ask stacks, and if it works, will post the standard appreciation.
