First of all thank you, for your valuable answer and time For the first query I found the answer from your query... I appreciate your frankness. My apologies if I offended you, that was never my attention. But I think it is quite normal to give a pointer to a tutorial, a book, a reference, a website or whatever where people can be taught the basics of something when the basics seems to be the something that is missing. I too have had pointers to tutorials when other experts found that I was lacking some basics and I usually was happy about it. If you're not, I'm sorry about it. But maybe I was too harsh in my wording. English is not my native tongue and sometimes I can be a bit strong in my opinion. So once more, my apologies if I offended you. In general, and I can only speak for myself here, I answer questions, basic and advanced, when I feel like it, when I have the time and when the asker is clear and to the point enough with his or her question. If the latter is not the case I tend to ask for clarification. Sometimes I repeatedly do that when my questions are not answered. I believe that's a good thing because some people just don't know how to formulate a question correctly, for instance because of lack of understanding of the terminology involved. I found your second question very general in nature, hence I pointed to a tutorial which, imho, explains what you are after. Your first question was very to the point, hence you got a direct answer. Kind regards and no hard feelings, Cheers, -- Abel -- PS: hopefully others give you a better "feel" on this list, all in all, we want everybody to be happy, right?
