Hello!

Glad you were able to get it all straightened out to your satisfaction.

OK, I admit it - it also took a time or few for me to figure out that whole 'swapoff' thingy. Now, it's second nature...

Your welcome -- glad it worked out.

Thanks for the complement, but I promise -- there's way more that I don't know than things I do know.

Two good ways I've learned things:

* From plenty of my own screw-ups that needed to then be fixed.
* From both reading through forums like this looking for interesting posts and from attempting to help others fix their problems (which many times requires me to look things up and learn for myself before I can help).
