Thanks for your confirmation, Dwight. I can't agree with your calling a confirmation from MLO a 'pleasantry', though. For sure it would be courteous and a nice thing to see, but there's also a straight practical purpose to such a post - It saves us wasting our time guessing what's going on when we could be discussing the product and how to get more out of it. That's not pleasantry, it's just good, common sense.
It would also help to dispel what appears to be a growing feeling that MLO simply doesn't give a fig. How is this not in MLO's best interest? Tolqua. PS Loving the caricature of the Old Guard!
