Hi Fabian.

It'd have been nice to have a possible timeframe, although I for one don't really need it for this particular case. Still, it's always good to see whether one should rush a fix, or if one can enjoy the weekend first. :) > Thank you for your attention! Thanks for the advance warning. Mraw, KiBi.
