Maximus, be assured that any contribution you make will add value - whether
your input is correct or incorrect.  And please, don't ever be concerned or 
afraid of being incorrect.  This always affords you, and the rest of the community,
to advance our knowledge - and that's a primary objective for all of us!!!

Thanks for making the effort to answer the question.  The worse thing that's 
going to happen to you being out here is that you're going to learn something - 
what you know, and what you don't know.

Here's some great advice:  Always listen to Chetan_Tiwary!!!!!!!!!!!
