One other point, please learn to avoid nested quotes. There is a preview function available so you can see the effect of editing previous posts you are quoting - USE IT

All you need to do is carefully edit out the extra quotes. The preview function lets you see the effect before posting. Just be careful with the tags!!

Hope this helps
