Sounds sensible to me. In fact, I'm sure we do this all the time! I guess the 64 dollar question might be: How one might go about determining if the subject matter being discussed (and also being considered for private exchange) would be of general interest to others or not. I think I'm being nit picky here... Probably not that big of a deal. ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
