So guess what, after my visit to yahoo gata groups and seeing above article i wondered why this thread did not have this important info posted. So i took the time to re-look at this thread a second time, and golly gee, then it was, that post i "next'ed" as a reflex to those other off-topic and stupid-topic wall-pappered posts. But it was a good one, but got run-over and ignored using that reverse hick-hiker problem where 1 in a 1,000 you pick up to give a ride is a bad guy gonna do you harm, and them 999 wallpaper posts prevented this good "one." ok, BUT these them there differences might "tell a story" as in, "what changed" might give insight. yes ak
