Keith
Thanks for that information. Have I got your permission to share your email
within my networks with others. All I can say is thank you for all the
information within your email which was very informative and has given me,
and others too,'food-for-thought' on issues that you have brought to my
attention with your empathic 'insight' on this matter.
Yours
Colin R
