Strange thread???
After refering back through the original thread (link from Todd), looked
to me like Todd was clear enough on what he was looking for and repeated
his question a few times. Some assumptions where made causing the thread
to take off in a direction unintended by the original poster (Todd).
Anyway... dumping on Todd was a bit unfair in light of his entire post.
