Dr. Jeng,

  I dropped the ball on this thread over a week ago due to circumsrances I 
could not affect.
  Be kindly assured that your taking up the challenge on this matter is 
highly appreciated and I am sure many Lers would be grateful for every 
effort put into it.

  Many many thanks,
  momodou sidibeh
