I'll give you half a point here.  I have seen enough friendly, helpful 
posts from Steven that I am predisposed to give a friendly interpretation, 
especialy when additional helpful suggestions follow.  'Stop grovelling' 
<send> *would* have been rude, but that is far away from what Steven 
posted.

I'll take the half point back here ;-).  "Yes <click>" is precisely what 
Steven did not do, so it was *not* 'kind of like'.  He followed with a 
useful suggestion and example link.
