What I was doing was trying to help you, which I regret doing now. I am
wrong sometimes and if I have wasted your valuable time I'm very sorry.
Don't worry though, this will be the last time I ever reply to any posts
from you. As for you saying you have to re-post this that itself is a good
example of ignorance. Go ahead if you like, perhaps someone else will be
willing to help you despite your hateful attitude. Good luck with your
documents.
