Oooo - That is one thing I usually don't check - the newsgroups that I reply
to (followup settings?)
So I won't post an appology to lego.direct, not because I'm not sorry (I

charter, etal. and suggestions, phrased in a considerate manner, are what
help everyone to get along, and helps to define how to be nice to each
other. yay.
Thanks for the help/tip,
Adam
