Hi DaBoyy,

Many of my replies get no recognition from the Original Poster. However, I get a lot of enjoyment and intellectual stimulation from thinking about a question and then replying.

My advice: don't be in a hurry with a reply. Don't try to be the first to give an answer. Your care in thinking about the problem, testing the solution on your own device, and composing a well-thought-out reply may be the reply that gets a gold star, a green tick or merely: "Thank you. That helped." Whatever, I get a buzz.

Regards,

Ian.
