Paul,
   I think that Syd is right when he says that this stuff falls on
deaf ears.  I have posted about 4 or 5 notes on this and I haven't
even had the courtesy of a note telling me to go s*** in my hat from
him.  I don't even know if he gets my posts.  At least from yours I
can see that other systems are seeing them.

  How about it Syd?  Can you even give a common courtesy such as email
or news article to someone that asks a question?

Jim
