Flashing dashes (was Little Red Lights)

["Neil Thorpe" <nt014b6628@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

I will have to do some further investigation as to exactly when the
lights come on and report back. This is probably why i had ignored
the lights in the past as "ignorance is bliss".

Thanks for your input Bill.
