Pity. Thanks, someone, for mailing me offlist about this. I'm incredibly sorry it was apparently taken negatively, as I had an entirely different meaning in mind, but it obviously didn't come thru as I intended. I'm not sure I can explain without inserting my foot even further into my mouth, but I'll try. I was intending to acknowledge the potential wound but communicate my respect for the person and the technical expertise and appreciation for fineness of detail I've repeatedly seen him demonstrate. Unfortunately, it seems I screwed up big time and that's not the way it came out; rather than respect, it seemed like dissing. So I unconditionally apologize for screwing up. Again, thanks for rightfully pointing that out, and thanks as well to the person that notified me and tried to help. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
