Appologise for not adding to the discussion, but my views are well
documented in the thread that Hannah referred to-

As always, don't just read my posts. This is a very long thread and
Yahoo limits the number of replies list below a given post to 9. There
are many more than 9 post/replies spanning well of a weeks time. Be
sure to go up and down the thread and read what others had to say on
the subject.

These post links plus the continuing discussion in that thread should
answer a lot of your questions, and hopefully raise new ideas and
questions.

Just passing it along.
