Perhaps you would get a better response if you used a little old fashioned
courtesy in your postings.  Remember - you ARE asking for help here.

Yes, it would be a topic for discussion, however the common courtesy rule
still applies - everyone may not know the exact answer to your problem but
everyone still tries to help.  And I guarantee - if you listen to all
responses and use your brain a bit as well - you just might be able to
figure the problem out.  Again better courtesy = better responses.
