You're welcome.
Mark - as a general word of advise, next time you have an issue, rather
than ranting because something isn't working as you expect and calling
people stupid, perhaps you could try describing the problem you are
experiencing in a rational manor and provide supporting information. It
seems you had already decided it was someone else's fault and were more
interested in blaming others than examining your own issues.
Most people in the community are happy to provide free support for the
free software we ship, but when you start a thread accusing my
colleagues and myself of being stupid, well it does not endear yourself
to me nor put me in a state of mind where I particularly want to go out
of my way to help you, for free. This isn't the first time; it will be
the last.
