<HTML>I did not request to be involved. YOU asked me to do this work.
----------
Poor choice of words resulted in an ambiguous sentence. My apologies.
I meant that *I* had requested your involvement because of recognized shortcomings in my own expertise. That's why I felt it somewhat inappropriate to (apparently) dengrate my abilities when I have been the first to say throughout this process that *I need help.* :-)
Again, I must sinserely thank you for your assitance.
BTW - I received your email but I have been ill all week and unable to check my mail. That is why you recieved no reply prior to posting your results publicly.
