You are, of course, correct on reading the FAQs - I was getting
frustrated after running into 2 other forums which, in fact had
different problems, but
I was having a bad night.....

Thanks for making that clearer for me - I misconscrewed your earlier

probably so - it gets maddening at times and I don't /believe/ I was
duping that many reports...

When I decided to try and contribute to fighting this problem, I was
referred to the NANAE groups - hardly the place for a novice reporter to
learn anything - not being a sys admin, it may have well been greek.  I
thought it entertaining at first but it got dreary pretty fast.  I can
see how shoveling through this crap all day long could drive one a
little nuts.  There is so much more for me to learn I was just getting
frustrated at it all...
