I sure hope this doesn't get to heated Terry, but your experience and background doesn't get up my nose. It's not even your harshness - I actually enjoy your sense of humour. MY PROBLEM is more along the lines of what you said about cutting to the chase. In this case you were unsuccessful at just "cutting to the chase" and may have sent a do it yourself-er on a wild goose chase.
I just want this to be a place where we can get some more of those "try this" answers and learn more from the whole process rather than just shipping the problem off for you to solve in your garage. From the sounds of it, you don't have much to learn from us so the only reason you seem to be here is to solicit for HMS. If the CEG wasn't so in love with you they'd tell you to stick it in the classifieds!
