The point that "I'm" making is that I could care less what I write in a public forum (such as this list), even tho "I" have the copyright on what I post. If I have something that I don't people to hear or know - I simply don't post such information. Plain and simple. That's just common sence - and it appears that there is a lacking of it in todays society. -- Best regards, Chris Everything happens at the same time with nothing in between.
