    but I figure it's a win-win situation if anybody is interested! Here's the deal: I have a rockin' savings account.

Now if you post a reply with your email address, I'll refer you and we'll both get money. Is this against the forum rules? I'm not exactly selling anything.... *mentally crosses fingers*

    This isn't a substantive post: I just thought I'd give a try at saying hi (hey Don, Betsy, Stephen). I'm thinking of a permanent change of address where the signal to noise ratio is higher. Dave Odden
