Jane My answer to that is jump off the razor edge on the side of proven protocol and give your feet a rest. Of course looking on the other side to see if you missed anything good now and then should be less perplexing. I don't even look anymore, If I hadn't seen anything in the past 75 years it is highly unlikely I would recognise it anyway. Hurray for SPAM boxes and programs to send messages that offend the sensibilitys there. Dave
