Let me also note that I stopped posting regularly in this forum chiefly because
I found myself feeling and, worse, exhibiting less and less patience with the
effluvia of gratuitous, because radically uninformed, responses that my posts
too often elicited. I now regret breaching my silence on this occasion; and I
shall in the future try to exhibit even greater restraint, limiting myself to
an occasional éloge.

Don't be a stranger, John. Please remember that Sysprogs are a lot like
kids. You spend the first two years teaching them to walk and talk, and
the next 18 years telling them to sit down and shut up. Then they
(FINALLY) reach maturity. The calendar may be different, (and it varies
with individual cases) but the process is the same. :-)
