Sorry for the delay, was enjoying my birthday present in NC, Hurricane Iglesias Isaiah Immanuel - you know, the unpronounceable one. Anyhow, we were north of Wilmington where it came ashore, luckily much better than they were predicting (nothing new there).
Anyhow, THANKS for all the wishes and sentiments. And Mike, thanks especially for introducing the thread drift, means a lot to me!
