Willem, I was having fun at your expense and meant no harm. I did google "witchkettle" but the wiki explanations really didn't help. However, now that you explained it, it makes sense. Idioms across cultrual lines sometimes get lost in translation, and I knew that before I jabbed ya. Was laughing at myself more than you, my friend. :laugh: :laugh: Fred
