There would be a lot of unemployed Gurus here if we stopped giving advice :(

That is true Doc! But here we have some anonymity. We don't give out our personal phone numbers or our home addresses. And there is strength in numbers. One opinion may be suspect, but when 30 some Gurus offer the same basic advise, it is hard to ignore.

Cheers!

Ain't it the truth, and do they ever reckon you're worth a skilled rate of remuneration for your kindnesses? :rolleyes:

Nope... cos' you know it doesn't take any effort is the way they think, even though many of us are quite involved with such issues for a living and get paid for what we have to do during the 9-5 day... :zip:
