Oh, I understood your question perfectly, Chuck, as you well know, but I deferred to your superior knowledge and experience as one of the annointed ones (or is that"in The Circle of Trust") .
It appears that, although there seem to be a number of list members interested enough in this thread to offer some pertinent replies, you don't seem to want to offer anything except snide remarks about those replies. Have you lost all interest in offering anything opinions of value if it doesn't happen to be what *you* are interested in talking about?
It doesn't matter what my opinion is, on this thread, only that you seem to be going out of your way to discourage newer members from asking questions that *you* think are dead horses and no longer need to be "hashed" out. Arrogance draws few converts. :-)
