You are so so right. I'll bet Tiger, Vjay, Ernie, etc. have the
occasional squabble too.

Amen. I really appreciate that free advise and sharing. If a
little product promotion and difference of opinion pops up once in a
while so be it. If we all agreed on everything all the time this
would be one boring forum.
