Hi Jim, You know, this whole adventure is so new, and so I'm advancing a little more cautiously than I normally would. Actually, with so much bad/cautionary Press re: the web, I find it difficult to 'trust' unknowns. I did get into lijit quite late last nite and I'll take a look at it more closely. Thanx for your comments,
