Hi Mair--
What a delightful surprise!. I'm happy that something I posted was of value to you; it was very kind of you to take the trouble to let me know.
Being from the planet Asperger, managing to communicate successfully is an infrequent, always accidental experience for me. Such an event used to impel me into fits of analysis, trying to determine what had "worked". I was pursuing the dream I'd had since early childhood that one day I'd figure out how people made connections with one another. It was obvious early on that I was "other"; not until a lifetime later, when I discovered that it had a name and other inhabitants (which I learned from dj here on Babble), was I able finally to bury that dream and move on.
At first, I stopped posting, thinking that, if it served no purpose, why bother? Eventually, I was able to post what I wanted to, when I was moved to do so, because I could. If something I post happens to make contact, it's a lovely bonus.
Anyway, that's how what I wrote applies to me (sorry, I realize you didn't ask). Thanks for the rainbow!---medlib
