Now we have three independent researchers coming up with the same birth... you HAVE to believe it now :lol:

See:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17969
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17968

I think I give up on trying to get all this in one post. A very good lesson on why you should not post the same question in multiple places!

Best wishes,
Sarah

Let's keep all discussion on this thread, since it is probably the most appropriate topic for it. I'll put a note at the end of the other ones.
