    How can you make things as simple as possible, but not simpler?

          As simple as possible, as complicated as needed. :thumbsup:

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
