Dear Art,

Valter Mura finally got that point through to my minuscule brain.  I 
must have overlooked that 50 times not realizing it.  I am sorry that I 
have used up so many kind people's time on the matter.  I am a little 
embarrassed, however, I have actually done stupider things than that 
before, so I guess I will have to just keep moving on.  Thanks again,

Steven
