Jim,
As you have probably figured out by now, Graham and I are practicing
our "Good Cop / Bad Cop" routine. (We do that whenever someone
introduces a new issue but fails to change the "Subject:" line from an
old topic that has already been resolved.) ;-)
Welcome to the group (and don't pay too much attention to the baying
of the hounds).
Regards,
Phsst
