You are so l33t. You are my hero. Always positive contributions from you.
Can't say as I've seen you help me before and I ask alot of questions. It's
one thing to snipe at those who do the most talking, but it's quite another
when they are the ones actually contributing positively when no one else has
an answer.

Keep on talking, channelmasters ...I'm about to post another question
actually and would be more than happy for either of you ...or anyone else
....to awe my newbieness with your almighty powers.
