Keeping all the above content purposely....I will just say that sw could
have pointed out the error instead of making a snide remark about OE, and I
could have simply apologized for the error. I have already said that I'm
not that savvy about some of these things and have comprehension problems.
So it escalates to a tempest in a teapot. I will continue to read this group
and post when it is appropriate and he can nit pik to his heart's
content......Sharon in Canada
