I would suggest you should not have answered this post at all.  There is no
surer way of cutting off any helpful response than by responding saying "I
want to find out what you find out."  People see the re: and subject line
and assume the question has been answered.  This is not the first time that
has happened, and I think all of us ought to pause before responding in an
unhelpful way.  Margaret
