Steve, if you're going to post to a list, please get acquainted with the concept of threaded discussions.
My first reply in this thread was not to you, but to the person known as "jsp". His reply of "live long and prosper" was directed to me, to my reponse. You can see this because he included my post in his (her?) reply. You will have a LOT LESS frustration if you take some time and become acquainted with the concept of threaded discussions and replies. Just because you start a topic does not mean every reply in that topic is directed to you. Just like a conversation in the "real" world, an email/list discussion has the ability to go off on tangents. You'll be doing yourself a big favor and help make your time MUCH MORE effective and make more progress getting a solution as soon as you understand that 1) not everyone hates you, 2) not everyone is directing their replies directly to you even though you started the topic, and 3) the people on this list would love to help you and have tried to so significantly in the past but, like you, are getting frustrated. A lot of us are extremely busy, and we like to see our time being used effectively and efficiently (we can help more people that way), and we get annoyed and irritated when people submit posts that have critical or demanding tone, implied or explicit insults and criticisms, and unreasonable demands, especially if they do so repeatedly in spite of polite requests to stop. Remember, this list is free. Nobody is required to be here, and nobody is required to help anyone else. Getting adamant and abusive about not getting help isn't going to help you, and isn't going to get you any progress. Call me arrogant if you want, it's simply not the case. I am trying to explain to you how to get the most out of this list and help decrease your frustration level. As I'm sure others do, I just want my time to be spent as effectively as possible...time is too valuable.

JSP, right before I go to "beddie bye" for the nite, I just had to ask u directly what in the hell you meant by the damned phrase "Live long, and prosper"? Were you trying/attempting to be "cute" or something because we really don't need that kind of "cuteness" in our little newsgroup!!!
