Hi Scott,Thanks.

Hi Scha9799,Nice work, and also a good thread topic too.

Hi Guys,I agree with you all,that it's not about what the agent wants, but I'm sure that some of us owners can be painful.Just spinning the question to see how we can improve on our performance.   We are all working together here  : )
