Bob:

I suppose you have never stopped to consider that after asking for help, getting many decent responses, and then lashing back rudely regarding the responses, that many people here on this board are going to ignore you and your problems. There are a few *very forgiving* people here who will answer your questions even with your attitude, but the vast majority will simply ingnore you.

Like myself, until today! Your comment about using <snip> was just totally uncalled for, and furthermore, THEY DID ANSWER YOUR QUESTION! I myself have used the <snip> text maybe once or twice, among several dozen posts I have made, and I consider it largely unnecessary since the fact that text has been bracketed in itself indicates that it has been snipped (in case anyone is curious, I subscribe to the digest, so I don't have a specific email to REPLY to -- this forces me to manually insert the ">" symbol). I would be interested in what other members think about using <snip>.

Unless you have a *decent* response, I will now put you back on "Ignore".
