If the OP never files a request for this on the bug report, this will not happen. All this discussion is for nothing. The OP is wasting his time, creating the VERY thing he is complaining about plus ticking off the very list he wants to change. Then again, I suspect that he has already been added to a few folks blacklist. The OP has succeeded in that I'm pretty sure. Dale :-) :-)
