I was just trying to be helpful and share information. That is the
basis of my website and the reason that I post. Almost everything I
have learned about computers in the past 5 yrs. has been from
newsgroups. I have met some very nice and helpful people and now that
I have learned some things (obviously not enough!),I want to return
the favor. I will be more careful in the future in what I post.
Sorry to the MVP's about the venomous thing-I was just venting a little.
