Dear Feste36, I didn't miss seeing this, and as you will understand, it (and because of where it seemed to come from) was consoling to me. Indeed at the point that I read it, I was seriously considering suspending operations (for at least a week: the proper sentence for having abused my privileges here on FFL). I was not enjoying the persecution, and thought: Do I need this? Your few words restored my spirits somewhat, and I have renewed posting here. So thanks, Feste36. MZ
