My inentention of this thread may have been only showing my disappointment for missing basic features such as lists in table cells rather than looking for a simple solution.
My first reply to Mans may sound negative because he only wanted to help (and I thanked him for that) but actually it's only negative against TW which you of course feel attacked by. But I def do not apologize for my reply to HansBKK's flame attack against me.
