Dear Karl (and the Group),

Thank you VERY MUCH for pointing us toward some EXCELLENT information.

A constant problem with the Internet is that it is impossible to sort
the wheat from the chaff. Almost everyone has an opinion they are
eager to share but much of the time that information is flawed; often
not even tested by the person offering it up; something have only
HEARD about and which may be repeated incorrectly.

Go look at the site Karl mentions. This fellow knows his onions.
