zanooda:

OK, it's two against one for now :-). But I must tell you, guys, 
English is a very ambiguous language :-)! Whenever I have a question, 
you always have two different answers for me, which is confusing :-).

Anyway, thank you very much, all of you. And, Mike, it's great to 
hear from you :-). You are hardly ever here these days. I mean, you 
are here, but only just :-).
