No, I am saying that his response would have reminded me that the solution
is as simple as using a ruler to measure them.

Exactly. Though I would replace the oh with DUH!....for not seeing the
forest through the trees. It is easy to do at times!

LOL! I'm sorry that I gave you grief over that <g>. As I said before, it's
so difficult sometimes to detect the emotions in a response without being
able to see the person's face. Again, my apologies.

That's right! Sometimes, on this forum in particular, we ask questions that
appear so dumb to many, and we accuse the OP of being dumb or lazy.
"How do I check my oil?"
"Pull up on the dipstick, you moron!"
"Oh, you mean I can do that (without having to call, or get permission from
the service manager)?"
