[:-,] Alright, this thread has run a bit. I have tried to understand some of the explanations and failed at some which means I am not very bright. But I have to admire the people who try to get it right. I have not the patience.
At the risk of offending some and having to retreat and sulk in a small County in England, when sitting in one`s own garden and watching different scales go by and they look right in my eye, I have to say

Not to offend/embarass anyone but do the 3 (as of this posting) people that voted "no" understand it now? I hope they will see the principle is simple but the application is the stuff online forums are made of.
