Thanks, tsuwm for supporting those of us new to the board who haven't ventured around long enough to have assimilated the past (millions of threads) you carpal tunnels share. While it's fun to see you all riffing off one another, it is not always easy to jump in.

Personally, I meant no offense to the good folk in here when I said something similar days ago, and I appreciated all of those who addressed me either in here or in private.
The upshot was that I stopped posting on this one, which is just fine.

I enjoy everyone's ramblings, and hope that you veterans remember how different it is for the stangers and newbies to post than for all of you.

And Juan, you have always been one of the kindest, and for that I am grateful. I look forward to anything you post.

And happy new year and happy birthday(s) to all of you....
