Thanks lingoking. Indeed I refer to helpful "souls" and not helpful "soles". Forgive me - the banality of previous comments has induced an intolerance. And such is the nature of his intolerance, that it has in turn (and sonmewhat paradoxically) elicited a linguistic blindness to the correct syntactical and grammatical forms. However, linguistic formalities aside, does anyone know the anwser to this clue........?
