Mike -

I agree with the others. I was a member of this list several years ago and allowed the grumps to run me out - but I found that it is too valuable a tool to not be a member. Not to mention that the majority of the folks are very nice and helpful.

So don't apologize because if anyone is going to get tired of "stupid" questions they will get tired of me - I am a self proclaimed mechanical moron - I'll never beat that without asking questions.

Later,
