Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered

I don't really care what you'd have done, but it's immaterial. At least I
see now how it got screwed up in my head. And Susan, if she's reading, would
be likely to respond anyway. She does have a lot of good info at hand; great
participant.

Well, you did ask me what I would have done, and I answered.

Fellow MVP Suzanne S. Barnhill is a great participant in these newsgroups; I
have to agree on that one.
