Steven, this might sum it up... An older guy and his grandson were walking their old donkey down a country road. The boy was riding while the grandfather walked along beside. A car drives by and stops with the driver saying, "That poor old man, walking in this heat while the youngster rides." The pair think about this and decide the city slicker is right so they change places, letting the grandfather ride while the grandson walks along beside the mule. Not long after, another car drives up and the driver stops and says, "Will you look at that. That poor young boy, walking while his grandfather lazily rides along." The boy and his grandfather think about this and decide that this city slicker is right, so the boy climbs up and they both ride along on the donkey's back. A bit later, another car drives up, stops and the driver says, "Just look at those two! Both of them riding and making such a workload for that poor donkey in this summer heat!" Well the grandfather and the boy agree that it may be quite a load for the old donkey and decide this guy is right and will give the donkey a break. They get down and pick the donkey up on their shoulders to carry him. As they walk down the road a bit they cross a bridge. Mid way over the bridge the boy looses his grasp on the mule and it slips and falls over the edge and into the river below and is swept away in the current... The moral of the story is this, if you try and please everyone all the time, you might as well kiss your A$$ goodbye... OK, so it's a bad pun, but a good joke and fits the purpose at the moment. So keep posting your ideas and passing along the helpful information you share. I've gotten some good info from you as have most everyone else on this board, judging from their responses. I wouldn't let the negative few get to you. Also, you make any new progress on the W9?? -Mark
