Unfortunately the real purpose of this list is to inform and connect
with folks. It's not a list that specializes in prose.  That being the
case it is often very annoying to find only a partial answer in the
archives and then have to hunt down through several emails to find the
complete solutions or discussions.

Further, if those parts had been irrelevant I *would* have edited them
out. They were not irrelevant.

Drop the superior attitude for a awhile and learn to be a man.
