I don't think so. A hum is a hum is a hum. You're not proposing a change in procedure. You're proposing to ignore one. Those are entirely different things. You've also snipped out the entire portion of my message where I talked about actually changing the procedure, and why that may actually be a good thing. I can't tell if you're deliberately trying to confuse the issue by arguing against a straw-man that I did not actually propose, or if you just didn't understand what I wrote previously. If the latter I apologize, and would be happy to clarify if necessary. Doug
