There are some sites out there in WebLand that tend to be populated with people who think that flaunting their knowledge with rudeness and sarcasm makes them appear to be intelligent. That has not been my experience here.
I greatly appreciate all of your generosity in the sharing of your knowledge and experience in a mature and noncondecending manner. I have found this discourse so far to be refreshing, enjoyable, educational and very helpful. The courtesy that you have extended to me has demonstrated that I am communicating with people of integrety and personal worth.
Again, I extend my thanks and appreciation.
I plan to order the hardware on Monday of this coming week. I will continue to watch this thread for suggestions and advice. Additionally, I will "report back" with any information on both problems and successes that I encounter. Maybe it might help someone else learn more as I am learning from all of you.
Kindest Regards

I know some people will think that you must be in an alternate universe, when they read your post.
But it seems like you get it : When we are rude and sarcastic towards people on this forum, it isn't to flaunt our knowledge. It is to flaunt their stupidity.
You did the right thing, compared to the multitude of tards who have ended up in the bin. You showed that you had done some legwork, you didn't expect to be spoonfeed, and you tried to ask intelligent questions. And you didn't come in here with an demanding attitude. If you read through the threads in the Newbie Bin, you can see how different your approach to getting help has been.
Keep it that way, and you will feel right at home here on the NS forums.
