Oh,

Lol,  I was just asking because as you know, their are so many ways to complete 
a task on the Mac.  I'm always on the look out to learn how to do something a 
little quicker, a little more efficiently, than how I currently do it.  Thanks 
for the kind words.  Just having fun and hoping I can help, and be helped along 
the way.
