    I know it sounds very hard but it is not. I suggest you start and I 
will tell you how to do this since I do this now myself. I know English 
is not your native language. So I will try to use simple English.

    Lets get off this list and send direct to each other. I can get your 
direct email address from this email and you can get mine.

Karl
