Duplicate threads.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1159905

It probably would not be appropriate to delete either one now that people have gone to the trouble of helping in both threads, but you should indicate in one that it is closed and continue in the other.

It just is not fair to waste people's time this way (see the other thread for duplication of what hoping/Linda did in this thread).
