Hi Astars,

I didn't mean to suggest that I didn't think it was legit.

I just wanted to stress the importance of spelling. I also prefer to be asked a question, rather than to be presented with a complete topic and have to start guessing what the person already knows and doesn't know.

Best wishes, Clive
