Do excuse my asking but why are you taking part in this "forum party"   and "imbibing" so heavily? Though your drink of choice might be different you're taking mighty swigs.

Aside from this  somewhat  bemused observation, I can't seem t find the original thread on the eF forum which first brought my attention to this. I must be looking in the wrong place.

As the problem seems now to be resolved, perhaps it would best be served by my ending on this note.
