Dear Louis,
Aren't you a little touchy??
I can assure you that my post was not thought of as "an excercise in
one-upmanship" nor did I intend to "write triumphantly". If unintendedly
this has been the impression, please accept my apologies, for which I
devote one third of my precious 3 post a day quota.

My post was thought as a supplemental info to your post - and in case you
didn't know (which you did) - a minor correction.


Yours

Jorn

BTW, I'll be out of town from Monday morning to Friday afternoon.
