not taking it personally. :-) everyone please read. maybe you can shed light on what i am experiencing that is detailed towards the bottom. .... I really believe the wiki should be modified and have more info in regards to making decisions. like not less than such and such hours and typically not more than such and such day. ALSO :-) i was *genuinely* thanking you for humbling my day. short long story. what i have been going througg is, many people like us that work in telecom, networks, computers, etc... well we all think we know how to setup things just so, and it has to be *perfect* and well, i know i dont know it all. YET, communicating that is hard to people that are *not* in our respective fields. fortunately, i have been having a really hard time explaining things to lay people lately and it is just **kicking** my rear. you know, kinda like if you have to do tech support and are responsible for millions of people and say they are all family you know and love dearly. i wont bring the associated Bible items into it on list, yet sincerely, i appreciate a respectful humbling. again, thank you all for helping me! yes, even you Evan. (apologies) :-) - rh
