Hi Elaine, Rudy is having a lot of bother. We have been exchanging emails all day. I just thought a long list of chat would be confusing to other members, as it's only useful in context. You're right of course, and I will try to stay on-list as much as possible in future. Sometimes members email me off-list, and I assume they want to stay private. If that is the case, I will post the answers to the questions I have been asked, without giving names.
