Did anyone else see a delay in the posting of the responses to this thread?
When I answered the OP, there were no other messages posted to the thread. I
went to eat supper about 25 minutes ago and I was the only message posted in
this thread. I just came back, refreshed the newsreader and... whoom... nine
messages popped up.

I did not see any delay. When I downloaded I did not see any responses. But
Niek and I both apparently posted at 3:55 PM EST.

By the way, Rick, the "=x" in your solution can be replaced merely by "x"
