"We could be heroes...

...just for one day."

OK - so my age is showing (my birthday was yesterday: 26APR68) ... in all seriousness, though,

Please stay tuned to this thread; sooner or later (no matter WHAT it takes), this matter will prove to have been RESOLVED, via the teamwork, shown here.

Thank you, Eric, and thanks to everyone else involved!
