   Not really.  That was intended.

   Yes, but that wasn't in the question.  I sometimes slip up when posting things   
   and was going by an old rule pertaining to the word judgement.  Either way is   
   correct, but judgment is preferred.  I also misspelled 'necesary' although I   
   could swear it had two of the letter "s" when I saved it.  (-:   
      
   Good catches by all and thanks!   
      
      
   Regards,
