Tyler,

	We are >all< learning. Some of us ask a lot of questions. Some of us give a lot of answers. Kerry falls into the second group on this list.

	He has said that he has work and family that require his time and that he will comment (give no more answers) on a particular thread. Please respect his choice in that matter. You don't need to berate him.

	I, for one, have appreciated Kerry's technical expertise over the years. Let's  appreciate each other and keep the flames out of it.

	Please, let this be the end of this thread.
