Thanks Mike, I mis-spoke on that bit and will change the text to read correctly. Downside of reading and typing fast when busy I suppose, but thanks for the correction as it matters.

Of course there are weak spots. Thanks for the clarification...makes sense to me now. Somehow I missed this! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
