Hello Claudio,

As always you bring an informed mind to the discussions.  As to repeats -
some members are new and possibly unaware of previous discussions, and two
(if you are like me) you may not know how to access the archive.  Perhaps a
quick guide or help button to guide us perplexed through the archives every
few months might be helpful.

But, in fact, I don't mind re-reading the discussions.  Maybe I'll remember
the topic this time..........
