No offense taken. ;-) As I'm sure you are well aware, for those who were lucky enough to have met Martin in person this is a good time for the lucky ones to step up to the e-podium and share a few fond memories, (and perhaps a couple of not-so-fond ones!) of interactions they may have had with Mr. Fleishman. Jed, I suspect you may have a few worth revealing. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
