<p dir="ltr">For clarity's sake let me say that, in retrospect, I think it was I who errantly top posted, I know better, I apologize, I simply forgot. I am not the one, however suggesting alternative frontend solutions. Intriguing as they are, I always have, and probably always will use myth, because it is GREAT, and I appreciate all the work put into this software by the dev's and the support I've received from this list getting my system up and running. Respectfully Daryl.<br>
