   Ahh, more defensive bickering/backbiting...   
      
   While you are at it, re-read foxidrive's post again which opens with "It   
   helps to mention the common drawbacks". Fore some reason, when you try   
   to help someone, you sometimes forget that everyone's system is not   
   setup exactly like your own. If you would consider it a friendly   
   reminder instead of criticism, life would be so much easier for everyone.   
      
   Carry on, Top Poster. :)
