Bob, I understand some of these recent posts are useless to you but there are those of us who do not mind taking some bits of information provided by others and then researching the rest on our own. If what somebody else posts is not complete information and I want more - then I have something to then further investigate on my own and then share that information with the group. It is not the groups purpose to hand feed everybody. You have been helpful to me in the past so I don't understand why you feel you need to shoot down these recent posts.

Bob's right. Details not provided and assumptions don't answer the question. BUT the posts by Gail are not useless, she's stating what she experienced. It hardly explains which ones and why.
