   OK.   
   I was thinking even before I read you reply that I was rather out of   
   order making that comment. Jumping to conclusions and all that,   
   so my turn to apologise.

   At the first hint of an argument post parties swiftly apologise for   
   any misunderstanding!   
   In the old days I would have come home from work to find a   
   massive thread with the UK and US posters all knocking lumps   
   out of each other :)
