So much information has passed through the wires over the five years that I have subscribed. I think of how my specific questions have been answered within hours of posting. Through the years, some of the information has been entertaining, most of it has been useful, and all of it has been interesting. And, I just don't recall any nasty encounters between folks - always friendly. Thanks for your leadership.
