    Ray T., Good luck with this. I was convinced as well that they are
    one and the same coin. There seems to be a group of, shall we say,
    less than honest dealers up in that area. My old "friend"
    spice363@aol.com is from somewhere up there. I will have NO reason
    to deal wwith either of these 2 in the future. David
