I agree!  I must confess ignorance with regards to the ":-)" convention
as I hadn't seen it before.  Now that I can see that I was probably the only
person on the net who didn't see the humourous intent and I'm sorry if I came
on too strong.   Again, I appologize to Mr. Bannister and all others who may
have been offened by my reply.     

 
  P.S. Please excuse the mangeled posting earlier!
