Simon150, my profuse apologies if I've unfairly attributed the 'flaps down' advice to you. It was contained in your summing up, and I couldn't find any reference to it in the forum link you provided (quite possibly down to my web incompetence, which is hardly unusual!).
Oh....and how do you get those little blue quote boxes to come up????
Copy, paste and highlight ... then the far right icon on the post toolbar is your friend (square quote box containing some pseudo text).
