Thank you very much. I was truly distressed by your response. I hate being misunderstood, but it so easily happens on line because of the lack of facial expressions, tone of voice, the ability to rephrase immediately when misunderstood. But we learn from our mistakes and I hope I've learned a bit from this one. I believe I need to phrase my statements a bit more humbly, perhaps use IMHO more than I do. I know that I have a tendency to pontificate when I think I know something. Now I am just grateful that the air has been cleared. This Yahoo group has become a source of great pleasure to me & I rush to my computer, when ministry gives me time, to see what gems await me. Charlie
