I am starting to become alarmed at the number of people posting on this list who apparently cannot read a label - or a post either for that matter. Does nobody ever read all the posts that go by? Do people just temporarily subscribe to this list to ask the same question that has been covered in detail a short while previously? Where are we going wrong. Do we need a FAQ? Would anyone read it?
