No apologies necessary. Actually is was an excellent post.
This is just my standard welcome that provides links that are beneficial to new members and gives new members an idea of behavioral expectations here at EvC.
It also serves as a reminder to those who may engage you in discussion.
It is nice to see you are a conscientious person.
I'm not sure how much discussion you'll get on this thread since the originator hasn't posted since 2004, but then again it has been revived a few times.
Again welcome, and fruitful debating.
