poddys Cool Susan, what a really great lens. Posted May 16, 2008

McMick Hello Susan and thank you Your response to questions on modules-May 3-was very helpful. Your responses along with Greekgeek's were two of the clearest most direct responses I've ever received. I hope it doesn't sound cranky, but direct answers to the question asked does not seem to be a skill of a great number of well-intentioned people who fulfill that role. I didn't see a way to place this response in the same thread where it might be helpful to others and also reveal your skill in answering questions. Thanks again and if there's a better way and a different place for me to respond, please let me know. Thanks again Mick Posted May 06, 2008
