Eeerrm, bit of a lecture but OK you've got a point, I was just speaking for 
some of the newer members (I don't think I qualify any more) just for me it 
would be a breath of fresh air for some easy peasie questions unlike say your 
'Python module query' which I haven't got a problem with but is of no 
interest because I don't know anything about it nor am I likely to for a year 
or so.

Your right I am now covering myself with sack cloth and ashes and will be 
scourging myself later in the privacy of my own home (sorry).

Yeah you git! I still have the mental scars.

Mind you I thought my way of explaing was a lot more friendly :-)
