You're welcome but a few hints.  Always reply at the bottom of the previous
message.  This will allow others to at least see what the topic was we were
talking about. Secondly, edit my signature out of the reply.  Not that it
matters much anymore with regard to bandwidth and costs, just the fact you're
removing stuff not needed in the reply. 

Enjoy!!
