Shel, It's fine to wish for more, but sometimes it's about trying. I think it's great that John tried something. I wish I had done so last night. Until you try, get results, and seek feedback, you can't make the next step. I think there's a good lession in this for those of us sitting on the sidelines. Regards, Bob S.
