Thanks for the explanation Ned.
After wading through all the threads (haven't got to them all yet) I missed last week this one left me a bit puzzled.


Great Idea.
;D

Great idea Ned, especially for guys like me who don't really know too many of the members...although I try to pick up a few things in the threads.
