John, JHurlicane, The Man with the Coding Plan Thanks Amigo, I couldn't say it loudly enough to express the appreciation and respect I have for your skills and insights. We'll miss you, and the code will suffer, but nothing lasts for ever, and it will live on. I would venture to say that the fine marks you have left on it will not fade :)
Thanks again, and best of luck with your latest endeavor. It sounds positively intriguing! XD Cheers!
