Andrei,

THANK YOU - I'm still chuckling

What  is it about some folks who can't accept that we are all 
different, like different products for different reasons and that that 
is something we should celebrate - not condemn!

That's why I - just like you keep using MY crap - although it's not the 
same crap as yours..=*^)

Hang in there!

Christer
