Well, with a maximum of 10 products being permitted, keep your
selections very general. I got too specific and was only able to enter
half my subject areas. Why do folks always think small when it comes to
allocating selections? Ah well ... progress: Looking forward while
(*trip*smack*oof!).
Many thanks!
