actually, i would like to applaud bill for recognizing the error and
following up on it quickly.  while i would personally have preferred that he
check into it before posting another unnecessary alert to the net.....bill
did a very good deed by correcting himself.
thanks, bill.....

characterized as a computer whiz.  ;-)
