Like I remember several years back when I was hunting for a job, I got a reply letter to every of my applications, saying they got my application, and they considered it and they want to see me for an interview, or sorry, but no they don't. When I was looking for a job last year, I only got replies if they were interested in hearing more. And it's with a lot of things like that. -- Best regards, Jürgen :eu-flag3: :de-bw: "A duck walks into a drugstore and ask the clerk for chapstick.
