Hi Charm,

Thanks for the guidance - I will indeed start a separate thread for the discussion. And thanks for the word of caution. I *certainly* didn't mean that any one way is better than another! Just seeking to process my own experience. (If anyone took offense at my post, please accept my apologies.)

Talk to you on another thread...
