Given the advice you took, no downvotes, handslaps or similar.... BUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE: Please, do NOT ever remove anything you've posted^1 because doing so can take away the context of replies you may have received (or, perhaps, are even being written as you make you change). Instead, use <strike> content to be deleted before closing the tag </strike> to disavow, show that you've changed something, etc. AND add a warning about your changes -- something like "NOTE: updated (did such and such" -- in a way that makes clear what you did and why. And, of course, WELCOME to PM! ^1 There are exceptions but they are beyond the scope of this advice. As a newcomer, you'll find these worth reading.	[reply]
