Hey Michael.

I identify with that whole situation. 
I know what it's like to have stress from one source and to, without any intent, have that stress come out with other tasks.
To make matters worse, email and chat can lead to confusion of intent. There's a reason why you can make a profession of writing.

I really should have made that comment part of my post in private to Dieter. 
I'm running on little sleep trying to get the new owner and staff up to speed.
Listees: Please don't turn this into an off topic thread.
Have any constructive ideas on documentation suggestions ?  good. 
Comments about DWS Systems.... that's better dealt with offlist
