(Advice sought) Ron, I haven't been on the list as long as many others, and sometimes don't know when sarcasm is intended. Now, I'm not sure what you're recommending. Please help a newbie.

This has been gone over on list more times than I have fingers and toes to count, and way past my personal tolerance, in excruciating detail. If you don't get it by now, please, get the biggest hammer you can lift, and seat those strings as energetically as you possibly can. Use both hands. Drive them in really deep, and rest assured in the belief that you have rendered a miracle and corrected a situation that isn't demonstrably physically possible in the first place. You have my blessing. Over and out. Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
