Jason, if you like, send me an email off list at: cs2005@xxxxxxxxxx
I've learned that the more patient I am with the tutorials, the more I
learn and I would love to share whatever I can with you.  So many on
this list have shared so much with me both directly and indirectly and a
chance to do the same for someone else is simply awesome.
