SRS...you're quite welcome (I ran onto those terms originally in a place that just posts 'interesting' links...The BlackStump) [that's part of what I mean by hanging out in places where info is posted]

John... I know what you mean....but forums come in different types..I try to find the ones where there are real discussions and trading of ideas. (my everyday spot for just keeping up on programs for Windows is alt.comp.freeware....other places & newsgroups discuss spam, programming..etc..) There ARE places where those with new & interesting info just like to show off..*grin*

guest.. you sure have a quaint way of 'discussing'. Have you ever considered a career as a diplomat? Perhaps to Iraq?
