Tony, "Been there, done that bought the T-shirt."
I retired when people started becoming ill in my family; first my Pop, then my sister and now my mother. I am battle-scarred from many skirmishes. Forgive me if expressing my concerns with regard to community issues on this listserv is not justifiable because at present I am not actively visible. Who know, I might yet tread the boards again.
