Hello Jochem, Thursday, January 13, 2005, 10:55:35 AM, you wrote: J> heh but who says I'm not a bar steward ;-) <grin> I'll take a beer then! I need one after today.

I apologize too. Here I am, the moderator and owner of five other lists harping on my users to not reply too quickly, and here I go and do it. Isn't that one of the moderator credos though? "Do as I say, not as I do?" :-) I agree that handing someone the silver platter every time they ask isn't the right way to do it, but I don't mind sharing what I've learned either.

I can agree with that. I'll fix mine.

Do you reckon you can handle two "I think"'s is a 24 hour period? <grin> I think you can do this in IE too, but it's more difficult. When I used to use IE way back when, I think I set up google as my search engine instead of MSN and did something like that.

At any rate, getting OT. Talk at you later. It's time to go home and play with the baby's mama. -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).
