Hi Ken :-)

Thank you kind Sir! Now I feel my wild and crazy dissertation wasn't a waste
after all! :-)

YEP! "TWINKLE-HEAD" SEEMED QUITE A FITTING description for one delivering
such utter nonsense. What is even worse? How many of us wasted part of our
"LIFE'S TIME"! Reading such utter drivel!

I for whatever sickening reason, wondered who this clown was?????????
Heavens to Betsy I hope I never find out! As I need not throw-up one more
time after his first pile of drivel!

cheers,
ted

"Twinkle-head".  I can use that one.  I always learn something new from 
you, Ted.
