Hey, First I suggested this to Tom Behler. He asked the question. He
didn't seem to mind the answer and therefore I don't care what anyone else
thinks. I did google it and I came up with some results that I thought were
near him, so I thought they might be helpful. He never said that he did any
kind of search, but he did say that he spoke with some folks. So I am
sorry that I said something that some of you don't like but it seems to me
that the folks that don't like my suggestion don't seem to have the ability
to offer an opinion with out anger or bitterness. Hmmm sign of Ignorance?
Stupidity?
