Guy,
         If it makes you feel better, I saw it. But, what kind of response 
could anyone give? It reads that you answered your question, or were about 
to. Other than a "DOH" or a "BTDT" response, I'm not sure anything else 
could be added....... or did I miss something.
         BTW.... what DID you find.
