Thanks Roselle. Yes, I saw your post right after I sent out my reply. I'm going through and replying to emails as I see them, so I'm seeing that some stuff's been coghered that I've posted about or whatever. Sorry about that. Of course we're allowed to share our opinions. This is a discussion list where we can offer suggestions, and that involves opinions. I hope no one's offended if my opinion differs from theirs because I'm not out to offend people. People have to share different opinions in order for conclusions to be drawn that satisfy everyone's wishes, so it's a good thing. Maria
