HTH :)

Thanks!

And if anyone wishes to see the changes: paste both texts into http://www.quickdiff.com/index.php and hit 'Compare'

Okay, if any of you actually went through the exercise of pasting it onto quickdiff.com, you probably noticed how aggravating it was to copy & paste from that container. Really a bigger turn-off in terms of UI than his English skills, in my opinion.

Thank you for this! I am not sure if I should change the copy now as it would probably does not make sense for people who would come later to read the article and there would be no mistakes.
