Bill:

That response was un-called-for, particularly since I *did* respond to
your problem with the correct solution.

I apologize if my attempt to improve your chances of getting technical
help from other open-source folks was ill-received.  On many (most)
mailing lists or newsgroups short problem descriptions with a plea for
help rarely get any response.

Again, I did not mean to offend and if I did, I apologize.

The List:

All further replies along these lines will be via E-mail to avoid clogging
up the list any further with useless messages.

  -- Steve
