Joe, I have received several e-mails of support in private. I was >sincerely< asking what the "rules" are here. If those rigid, unhappy individuals restrict any deviation from that, the list can't function IMHO (and I don't think I was deviating). I don't want to anger my colleagues and I value the list. I was/am asking about the parameters. Of course, I guess I'm "overwhelming" and "overpowering" again. As Richard says.....Cheers!
