So I hesitated, but asked it nevertheless. Fortunately Mike S. understood my need, and fulfilled it. Your response was to refer me to a mountain of words, which I hesitated to climb. Then when I was reluctant, you prefer to belittle me. I don't think you should be in the business of trying to answer these questions considering your uneven temperament. It is because of you, and people like you, that people hesitate to ask simple questions in the first place. You think you know it all anyway, so everyone else is dumb. JR
