...I am a literal person - tell me "keep it short" like Herr Harald did,
and I obey nicely! I figured maybe I had broken the ettiquite of this list
or something. With something like Thirty Five Years working with computers
every day, I consider it my obligation to provide a good problem statement
when I'm reporting one. I guess my initial report went over-board for
Harald's tastes, and then too far the other way for yours! No harm
intended, just watch out for those of us who take things literally!

Agreed, though I was expecting it to announce it, as described here:

No hurt feelings, Wietse. You and the folks who volunteer your time here
are great and, frankly, I preferr "brutally honest", though many people
say so but don't!

As its working now, I'll let you get back to your previously scheduled
program(ing)!

Regards,
Richard
