Dear Mr Harald, I've learned some things from your responses and even more from shawn green's. You might learn a lot from him about patience and courtesy, which make life on a technical forum a lot easier. You clearly know a lot about technical stuff, but you're short on patience, and it would help you a lot to practice a little courtesy and refrain from vulgar language.
