Ken, I offended some of the things in Vista that I did not like. I guess it
was not such a good idea to post this as a replay of yours. You'd helped me
to solve questions of mine in other topics, so I couldn't possibly have
anything against you personally!

Titus and David are not me.

Have a nice day!
