I suggest that the "my mirror is faster than your mirror and my mirror is a secret" attitude of Florin simply be ignored... This list gets enough traffic without useless posting like "I know how to do that..." So... ignore Florin... there are always parasites in any community... <sarcasm>on the other hand, maybe Florin's contributed in ways that my mere mortal intelect can't fathom. I should be considered blessed for having read his words.</sarcasm> In the mean time, let's work on a solution to the problem... and yes, Florin will benefit from that too, and that's OK... sniff, I feel a big group hug soon... LOL... :-) Cheers, Don
