Thanks, GS - no offence was intended!

You're right about the 'backwoods' reference - I live in the county of Lincolnshire which, by UK standards, is relatively sparsely populated and is largely devoted to agriculture. I adopted the name when a female member (now deceased), known for her vitriolic style of posting, referred to me and a group of fellow Lincolnshire men as 'backwoodsmen' in one of her even-more-than-usually hysterical outbursts. :-)

Michael, I usually hold you and your contributions in high regard. Why on Earth would I be deliberately offensive towards you? Chill man! :-) :-)
