Hi

Leandro, thank you for this high quality example.

I have had very little response, (and one response privately), so I can 
only assume that almost no one sees any value in this.  I thought Walter 
might although.  So I will do nothing for now, and may raise this next year.

cheers
Nick B

ps perhaps this community need a marketing director.
