Thanks. I could of course have found that for myself, but my point is
that people asking questions should have a little more consideration for
their readers. The exchange isn't just a private conversation between a
questioner and those who have answers, but may interest other readers
who didn't know they were interested until they saw it. A little context
goes a long way to helping them decide.
