Thanks, I did a search but inexplicably missed that one.
No worries...I find the search on MR forums isn't always so great. I sometimes have trouble finding threads I've seen before even. Found that one from my subscribed threads list since I had posted.
There aren't any spectacular insights in that thread necessarily, but at least it's had activity so you might get more responses.
You would really think the bulletin board software would have gotten to the point where it recognizes # of posts vs. important topics and try and keep topics from going off the front page. That always seems to be what kills a thread and then people ask the same questions over and over again.
