You're probably right, I didn't mean to start a topic but only throw out a
quick note. However, I received no less than 15 emails from people thanking
me. A few even said they hadn't believed me and had looked it up, only to
find I was right. This may not have been the proper forum, but it seemed to
be somewhat helpful.

helped me mend my ways.
