Hello Marc,
welcome to the group!
We've just had a discussion about this three weeks ago. As I see you use
Google groups, may I suggest you search this group for a thread named
"Rats !", started by Mark? I think some of the suggestions there will be
interesting for you.
Nice to have you on board! I like ducks, even though I don't keep any.
