Amy Duncan (X) Apr 20, 2007:

I can reopen the question if you wish to award points as a way of saying Thanks. Just let me know via my profile or add a note here.
Gisele Goldstein Apr 20, 2007:
I second Thais, and also, I think it is good practice, when closing questions withouth giving points, to share the answer that you have found elsewhere, as we are here not just for points, but to learn with each other too.
Amy Duncan (X) Apr 20, 2007:
Thanks, Thais, that's very thoughtful!
Thais Maria Lips Apr 20, 2007:
Amy Duncan provided the correct answer at 13 minutes. Why you didn't want to give her the kudoz?
