Murray, You are one of the reasons this list is of interest to me! I personally don't have the time to research at the level you do, so I am grateful to the nth degree for your commitment and fortitude. In my view, you are EXACTLY what this list says it is about: exchanging information! Bless you Murray, for being selfless and generous. Marla Marla L.
