The Note I made about someone named *mindlery* replying to your Original
Post
was my mistake. Because he was replying from some forum some where with not
one
quote and , because all that he gave was a fix, that of course made no sense
and that it showed up
in my newsreader at the time directly under your OP and I mistakenly thought
it was a reply to you, when in fact it was not.
Sorry about that.
