I see your post now, but I didn't notice it at the time I posted.
Could be because I am using the noticeable bad Google groups interface
that is known for being unreliable. Duplicate solutions on Usenet are
almost a given and I consider duplicate solutions a good thing, it
means that other people will be able to understand that code.

In any case I am not here for glory I am posting under a pseudonym so
nobody discovers that I am slacking off at work reading Usen[carrier
