  Insane?  Hummm?  I was not aware that you were so
eminently qualified to make such diagnosis especially
based upon a posting to several forums?  My apologies
my dear Doctor, is I am thusly mistaken.  However, as
I am not so qualified admittedly myself, I would tend to
disagree that propagation of this dialog is in error
in any way as in doing so is a way of making all those
that are interested parties can partake.  Therefore
I have taken the liberty of re-adding the cc's to
other forums to which this dialog was originally
intended and had been participating.

  Thank you Sandy for helping our fellow stakeholder
with the information you provided. One Eric Dierker,
so as to provide him with the necessary and helpful
information to which he seemed to lack adequate
information about, and is either unable or unwilling
to research for himself.
