All this wonderful info that must be out there, it’s just knowing where to look.

That is so true, Steve!
Reminds me of the chap who took an old pocket watch which had stopped to the jewellers.
The watchmaker removed the back, inspected the watch for a moment, blew carefully into the movement, replaced the back and wound it up before handing it back to it's owner working perfectly.
How much do I owe you, asked his customer. Twenty pounds, said the watchmaker.
Twenty pounds for blowing into the watch, asked his customer incredulously. No, said the watchmaker, one pound for blowing into the watch, nineteen pounds for knowing where to blow.
Even now, well into my seventies, I am constantly reminded of my own limitations by those more knowledgeable than I!
Regards, John
