Hello Cerridwen;
Your response to Bill, in my opinion, was rude and uncalled for. There is no
need to flex your technical muscles within this public Newsgroup. The
Internet contains a plethora of Newsgroups that encourage this kind of
behavior... go there....you will enjoy it. Otherwise, for god's sake man get
a grip on yourself. Adios amigos.
