Dave,

It is not your original post that I bring up, it was by all means a legit
question. ... What I am laughing at are the engineers and technicians that
can make such a simple thing become almost overwhelming!

If you read my post to the end... you will see that I was taking a humorous
standpoint.... not a finger pointing one.. Don't make it out to be more then
it was.

It is great that you learned all the other things you did.. but if you
wanted to know about those things.. why not just ask about THOSE things??
Besides.. this is not brain storming... far from it.  This is everyone
taking knowledge that they already have and finding the most complicated way
to do something simple...  That my boy.. is humorous!

BTW.  LOL means Laughing Out Loud... just in case you didn't know!
