Many years experience with usenet and forums has taught me that a reasonable inquiry is unlikely to inflame sufficient passion to produce a useful response. Sorry to be manipulative, but what works, works. Addison has provided very good information, which will take me a bit to digest. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Apparently, some here have learned how not to add gasoline to an obvious fire. There are some smart cookies here. There are also some folks here (not you Andrew) that love to inflame some of our community. I think I'm learning the difference between the many types of posters here. Some want to learn and share, a few want to bring anger and criticisim to the discussion. Kudos to those that have shown compassion for the IWETHEY community members and ignored the obvious flamers. I hope these types can learn from the nice people here (or that they realize they are unwelcome and find another community to direct their hate at).
