Maybe it's just my appallingly bad speed reading, but I failed to notice a
single sentence in that diatribe. No capital letters, no full stops, and
commas strewn about for the sheer hell of it. Please try to stict to common
conventions when posting - it's for your own benefit, as many folk will not
take the time and trouble to put them in for you and you decrease your
chances of receiving assistance. It doesn't take a minute to check your
posts before sending, and it will be of great benefit - both to you - and to
others who may be able to assist you, but don't because they can't decipher
the post!
