Off topic: why is there so much unfriendliness on this thread ? Both
the above and DW's post seem unnecessarily aggressive and unhelpful.

There is *not* ``so much unfriendliness on this thread''.  People become
brusque, not unfriendly, when those asking questions persist in deliberate
obtuseness.

DW puts an enormous amount of time and effort into providing helpful
advice on this list, but is understandably put off by silly questions or
failures to follow the posting guide.

His efforts should be appreciated and applauded, not whined about.

    cheers,
