I didn't see any flames today. You are more than welcome to do a little
bit
of research, I have probably helped more people than you likely ever
will here.

That does not qualify you as a geek, nor is it believable since you
could
not solve this simple problem without help.

Sure they do, 3 people left today David, dAvid and daVid. LOL! If you
call
following policies crap I'll take the crap over chaos any day thx. If
