Nikolai, thanks for taking up the 'being the thorn in Ignacio's side' 
reigns for me on this one ...

I don't have the energy right now, after just getting over my slight router 
meets fingers accident, my father-in-law has a serious heart attack, and an 
emergency triple by-pass surgery... and is now (tomorrow) moving up to live 
with us for the summer (or at least some of it) ...

Anyway, thanks :)

Siegfried

winged ant invasion happening in his basement at this second)
