Thank you Malcolm!

Greg, I am never trying to stop a thread or keep someone from commenting further. However, in some cases like this one where the subject has been hashed over and explored in depth, than it would behoove anyone asking the questions to see what has been said.

Frankly, it always strikes me as the height of egotism to ignore some of the excellent comments made before. It's like saying that your opinion is the only one that matters. Everyone has an opinion that matters but it gets pretty silly when the same thing is posted over and over and over, especially when the new poster comes off like it's an original thought!

It happens on all sorts of threads and to me, one of the great strengths of this forum is that we can call up anything written in the past. You can feel free to add additional comments of course, but to ignore the links and the past threads is a mistake.
