Thanks for the reply.

My original response was because I also found Craigs response somewhat lacking. I also added my viewpoint of the group, I'm not afraid to express my opinion either & haven't taken any of the replies personally.

Communities such as this are very dependant on new people joining & staying, I felt it important to highlight that quite a few of the "experts" within the community are acting in such a way as to jeopardise that, at least in my opinion (& I do not take offense easily).

Sorry to refer to you as an old-timer, I thought you'd been here longer.
