I'd like to put this thread to rest. To be honest, I'm a bit embarrassed about it now. I typed out the first post in a moment of internal chaos that I would much rather forget! :-)

Thanks for every post on this thread, positive, negative, and in between.

I am of the opinion that all input is valuable. Just because I don't like the response, doesn't mean I can't learn a great deal from it.

If anyone would like to give me further advice or criticism, I'd be happy to accept it via PM.
