Dear matt,
As you've probably gathered, your message below sparked a few flying feathers.
Just to say, you did break two cardinal rules -
1. Not reading the welcome page that was specifically set up to answer such questions.
2. Expressing your question in a rather aggressive fashion.
(As for not putting your e-mail, that can be excused if you're new to the net - I know I was reluctant when I first appeared)
However, there are many many people here who arrived and did pretty similar things, and are now fully accepted. I urge you to re-appear, and tell us a little about yourself, and you'll get a fair hearing.
There are times when I get very frustrated at all the apparently extraneous messages - but then there are times when I join in. That's the way the board is - but that's part of what makes it so much fun, as well as so useful!
Simon
