@sherpa,

You’re probably right. I guess my own reaction was along the lines of, “Why in the world would anyone do that, and why would anyone think anyone would care??” I found the question stunning.

But I need to remember - I’m an old guy. And I’ve done this before. There’s a reason why the expression is “young AND foolish,” and I should remember that I was foolish, too, once upon a time (and probably still am to a greater degree than might be desired).

My apologies to you, @akova1, for a less-than-hospitable welcome to CC. But it really is a very silly idea, when you think about it. ;-)
