Ronni - thank you so much. Yes, (referring to your reply to Bill) - I also wonder where you find the time to respond to various cries for help whenever I see your name pop up on this list - and this seems to be more and more frequently. I guess that it must be a compulsion with you to answer each challenge, and I personally have certainly benefited from your replies.
