good point, craig ... because, god knows, it's unthinkable that
participants on this list might waste time and several postings and
responses to postings because an initial poster uses sloppy, vague,
ambiguous and/or incomplete terminology when looking for help, thereby
spawning numerous replies, none of which have any value since no one
can figure out what the OP is actually talking about.
