I re-read that post... I don't think that's what he meant to do at all. He said he's kind of a novice and doesn't quite know how to get the best info from these sources. He said most of his comments may come from lack of understanding. For the most part he was asking for advice. And he did say, "please be patient" [with him]. He also gushed about the last one. {:-) There may have been an attitude of pessimism but it seems to come from frustration, not from an intent to criticize your suggestions. I hope you will continue to share your experience with us. I found your post very helpful and saved it in my links folder. It will remind me to try some of them again, and it brought new ones to my attention. Thank you!
