Murasame-

I'll read that and then mostly likely get back to you and praise you, since your information has never been anything less than very helpful....

Also I read the broadband stuff you told me to read and that was great, too. Thanks again.

Just to be clear though, when (for whatever reasons) I'm having a bad upload day (which lately has been rare; things are going pretty well) and people are getting only 2 Kb/s from me, more experienced users do NOT assume then that it's any conscious decision or action on my part? In other words they know it may be something OTHER than my having rudely turned the upload settings to the absolute minimum?

Thanks again and TTYL :o)
