>Welcome, Alan. It is a pleasure to hear from someone from whose website I found an answer to a Board question.

Thanks to Google, it's pretty easy to become an expert on something these days, provided the topic's obscure enough. Recently I asked some friends what they knew about the Australian word "piff". We discussed it for a while, and the next day one of my friends sent me a link to a Web page that had a definition of the word. Sure enough, it was my own site!
