Btw, in a thread that is dealing with manners, common courtesy, etc. its best when correcting someone to do so using manners and common courtesy, rather than a more, say, uncouth way of doing it.  Not that I'm bothered at all by it...:/P.P.S.  It appears that GR's sites been hacked for the second time in as many days.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
