Please re-read what I have written and comprehend it. I decline to correct your misinterpretations, step by step, but please do not bring irrelevances such as Fedora into view nor take a pompous, indeed arrogant, attitude that when asked about Ralph, you decide to play on "privacy". A simple "I don't know" or a "Currently on a 'n' week vacation" would have been an appropriate answer. And, finally, when are you going to correct the "-- Russ herrold" signature block on all your mails? Quite honestly, it give the impression of a person who is slipshod and sloppy in all that he does. Alan.
