No actually, I mean that I expect you to give me a "Here's the tool so you
can learn to fish for yourself" kind of answers ...

Initially this sort of thing can be alientating (Read the manual ... [EOF])
but in the long run it is much more efficient for all concerned.  I also
recognize the breadth and numbers of posts you juggle personally.  I am not
so vain as to take offense at a brief reply.

Sail on! You're doing a great job. You are doubtless appreciated by the
silent majority.


Erik,
... learning quickly to fish for myself ...
