Thanks Phil,

I was afraid it would be something like that. As we speak I'm writing a
huge post with sample material to use just to try to clarify the situation.
Hopefully a lot of people will chime in and contribute in some way or

Great to see you here, It's always nice to read your RedShark articles.
I hope you can share some of your insights with this one as well.

Rio
