You're welcome and sorry- I thought your username was a play on words that would have made some sense in Greek.

I'm learning Greek. Curious what play on words that would be? In English it reads as a portmanteau of "cat" and "naturopath"

Ah, I see. It's a bit offensive really, sorry about that, but "catur-" sounds like the root for "κατούρημα", a slightly vulgar way to say "peeing". I thought you were kind of taking the piss off naturopaths. :-)
