Um, I like to know who's speaking. "CM", "monpublic", "C" don't mean<br>much to me. Have we met? Do you have a real name? Dos anyone here know<br>you? (Georg perhaps?) While in general this isn't a forum where we
<br>count votes much, *anonymous* votes really don't count for much at<br>all.</blockquote><div><br>I'm sorry about that. I have been lurking for a long time, for some
reason under this mailing address, and was forcibly reminded about that
fact when I got a moderator message when posting from a more reasonable
address. The name's Chris Monson, and we have definitely met. I'll
fix my mail settings.<br>
