Hi Shawn,

Thanks for that...I just realized that my email was sent, I was trying to
discard it instead! Right after I wrote that in draft, I went to WAI and saw
that...That was exactly the answer to my question so the email was
redundant. Thanks for pointing that source out, in case others hadn't seen
it.

Sorry for that message being sent accidentally.

Cheers

Lisa
