One big plus for this prompt business is that it gets me trying stuff I would not have tried otherwise. The dead-line has its uses, too, but the downside to that is that I end up posting pieces I don't consider quite finished. Useful comment, though. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Derrick</b><br />Glad you took that from it.

Grateful thanks.<br /><br /><b>Titus</b><br />I was worried that I might have somewhat overdone the "long", so a <b>very</b> helpful comment.
