Bill, It is not the first time that you have misplaced your reply to me, while it should be addressed to ED. I looked up 'oxymoron' in my dictionerary but did not find it. Google says it is to do with contradictory words such as 'dark light' and 'living dead'. I think you had better go back to your Thai flight lice, where there is no contradiction. It is clearly some kind of meat. Anthony
