Sorry if I offended, I'm often too familiar. I appreciate all the trouble that
you are taking over this.

Ah you're French and you have a president. I'm a Brit and only a subject, so
don't rub it in :-)
I was only pointing out that those of us that use modellers are restricted to
the output of the modeller and any rule that enters the scope has to be
followed. I hate sounding as if I'm nitpicking but I've been burned too often in
RL.
