Thanks, Twilight. I'm sure your skill and diligence in researching these questions is highly appreciated by the original posters.

Yes, it's amazing what you can track down if you use the right tools combined with imagination and perseverance. I think that's part of saintmarc's secret, too (in addition to an encyclopedia memory) - I've seen him mention in passing having spent an hour or more tracking down the answer to a question.
