Please do not post threads which duplicate your exisiting ones---especially when you already have replies in the other one.

I am not being flip, but allow me to explain something: We respond when we get around to it.....and no sooner.

I can imagine running into a coffee shop and asking for a cup of coffee ASAP because you have a bus to catch---but that will not work here.
