That's fine. I have no problem with doing my own legwork.... but sometimes a
compass bearing is helpful!

Thanks for being frank. That was precisely my concern, regarding posting in
the newbie list, and not getting the exposure that a particular question
might warrant. I'll wait a little more time for responses before posting the
question, as (in the interests of an efficient and effective mailing list) I
think this is an interesting point in it's own right, especially for
newbies.

Thanks,

John
