Just to finish this thread: 1) It wasn't a blunt question. I started the post apologizing for the (not entirely) off opic question. 2) I wasn't politely informed. It was pretty harshly. 3) If you mean that "us" are the zillion registered users of this mailing list, well buddy, you know a whole lot of people! 4) At least one of these people replied kindly and correctly to my question within seconds. Three of four more spent several minutes whining. The other zilion persons who were not interested (other than the four I mentioned above) silently and peacefully ignored the question on went on with their happy lifes.
