Glad to have helped.  The FAQ will be more helpful .... and will
hopefully be available soon.

I was merely responding to this statement that you made in response to
Carole:

        <<<My statements are NOT meant to be taken issue of, they are as
I have stressed my opinions only :-)>>>>

No, it did.  I was just taken aback that you didn't think Carole should
debate with you.  You seemed very affronted that she had responded to
your post.  She said that she was taking issue with one of your
statements and explained why.  You replied that your statements were not
to be taken issue with and were merely opinions.  I was just noting that
if you make a statement of opinion in an internet discussion group,
you're opening yourself up to having someone disagree with you.  That's
all.

Correct.  :--)

her ....)
