Yes, I got that, but when I first saw the +1 appear it was not after my post, it came after the response of someone else to my post. I interpreted to me mean the person who supplied the +1 was agreeing with the person who was disagreeing with me. I figured it was a positive sign - the +1 - but it did not appear in direct response to my post. So it had me confused. I will now go back and see if I am correct, and if I am I will copy that post and paste it here. I could be wrong. In fact, I should probably have gone back to view it before posting this. But I am too lazy and too selfish to back up now. Anyway, I'm pleased with all the responses one way or another, and thanks to all.
