Andrew,

Yes we may, but if there are others on the list who are experiencing
your difficulties, a phone conversation will not inform them.  A way to
fix that problem is to post a summary of what it took to solve the
problem.  

Is that OK with the list?

I agree that two people on the phone, looking at the same screens, can
cover the territory much quicker than an email trail, so any evening is
OK with me.
