Hello 'Your Mother'

I didn't say I was not interested in the quality, only that it was not as important right now as is my interest in trying to understand what was going on.

I find this perlmonks environment can be made quite difficult. As an outsider looking in (at various posts) some responses can be interpreted as condescending or high-hatted or just mainly interested in unwarranted criticism. Perhaps it is just not for me and I am too 'soft'.

Thank you for the link, which I will surely go and read; some direct answers would have helped too (time and willingness permitting of course).

I am sorry if what I posted has bothered you, or any one, for being long, incorrect or time consuming.

Peace and best wishes.
