Sometimes all we (the grateful port users) need is confirmation that you are aware of an issue we might be experiencing. It is, after all, a thin line between our desire to post something that we feel might be helpful to you, and your perception of such postings as being "bothersome". For the great job you guys do, the least that we can provide is our patience. Cheers, J.
