Hi PJE. sorry to have been so quick to count you out in my last post. I'd 
mistakenly thought lack of posted was lack of activity. 

Your moderation of the group is so discrete one would not know you were there. 
That is probably the definition of a perfect moderator. 

Thanks for setting up the group , it's been a crucial help on a number of 
occasions, and for keeping a watchful eye. 

best regards.
