Jeff (and all those that answer the hard questions on this list),

	I would like to thank those of you that are willing to take great efforts
to support this list with qualified answers. Your assistance with many of
our "growing pains" is a godsend.

	I agree that handing over the already answered question is not the correct
way to approach any situation. Learning also requires a bit of hard work and
research on the seekers part.

	Thank you from all those that you have helped in the past and those in the
future.
