Obviously I wasn't aware of it. I never looked for something like that to be 
honest. C'est la vie.

However, it is good to see someone gets the point that it CAN be a problem. 
Nothing like clearing a problem one day only to have it come back the next 
day and not know how it got in the first time or got in again. At least this 
is one more thing that we can check.
