Ham,
I'm glad this is cleared up, about the Ron "mutually exclusive" stuff, for at least one confusion has been provided clarity. Could have used that over 2 years ago, but I guess your learning something. Seriously, this issue alone makes you more understandable 10 fold. A lot of what I've argued about with you was your unknowingness on this pretty crucial topic.
Another drop by, gotta go.
woods,
SA
