got to admit I've never been to those groups ... but certainly others I have
tried have only pointed me in the general direction rather than helped me
with an almost off the shelf solution. Maybe that's a good thing but it's
often left me frustrated and feeling little closer to an answer.

Don't knock it though ... I think you guys are brilliant ;-)
