Hi inimitable; right; and it's called peeing with intent and we've had a lot of that over the years here. Thanks Sticky, I must have been dozing. I'm reminded of the song "it's impossible". And I'm reminded of the gentle scoffing all those budding aviationists got as they launched themselves off hills, strapped to in sitting in contraptions that were going to fly. Or the hidden smirks when engineers first produced drawings of skyscrapers; doctors when they set about curing polio, adventurers trying to reach the pole or row across an ocean; dipsticks trying to climb thru the clouds on big hills: they were all impossible; every bhp (big headed person) had tried it and failed. Then along comes a little apg (abjectly poor geeser), who immediately starts looking in all the wrong places, completely back to front, and sees a problem from another angle. And I remember all the scoffing back then; how all the experts have failed and lost billions. Well, this little tyke hasn't lifted off yet; it's only still at mezzanine level, and hasn't cleared the heads; but it is moving, albeit slowly. I'm also reminded about so many famous storys about people who were advised to stay away and really rued the decision. I think one was someone who said no to managing The Beatles. You will know many more. And that's enough pissing in the wind. I doubt we are on the titanic. cheers jwt
