Thanks once again for the fair advice , I will keep that in mind and have already warded off some of the worst. I'm particularly picky about whom I submit my will to and always looking for that impardonable error. Presently a nice gentleman from Georgia has offered to show me the ropes and I've taken him up on his teaching skills. The right DOM is out there and I'm sure I'll know him when the time comes. Being a SWITCH permits me certain options that any DOM or Sub will want to accept.
