Geeze: you can't even give an attempt at an encouraging answer here, without being told you are moaning. I really don't get that. As far as I know, this list does welcome newbies, of all shapes and sizes, and instead of telling the guy to go fly a kite, I suggested that he go ahead and ask his questions. If his questions get him answers that lead him to other lists, than so be it. In effect, I was trying to stop his preemptive "moaning", as you put it, and instead I get told that this is what I am doing. Strange indeed. I doubt even Janina can fault my original attempt in this one. Luke
