Each of us may do as we wish. There is no guarantee from any of us to answer any particular question. Each of us participates as we wish. If anyone thinks that a question is "not worth answering" for whatever reason, then the easiest thing to do is what I do. Ignore it. Why bother to fan flames or pour gasoline onto them? Only once in my memory has anybody "complained" when then did not get an answer for people. This is a free (gratis and libre) forum. If I don't want to answer a question, I am not under any obligation to do so. If I do give an answer, everybody better understand that it is not guaranteed to be correct. I try to not give bad information out, but I sometimes do. This is not a formal support forum for anything. It is a corner pub, without the booze, chips and dart board. (so to speak - I've never been in a pub). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
