The way you and I used the expression is how I hear it used in similar situations all the time, but I am continually amazed by how easy it is to upset some peoples sensitivities. I am sure Barbara didn't realise the association between desperation and the word as used here and my response which only meant "don't panic". If Barbara is reading this, I apologise for upsetting you, no harm was intended. BTW I'm in Sydney, and it seems we are a particularly profane lot down here. And I am pleased your PS is working again. Tony http://www.tonyjohansen.com A Life Of Art
