Thanks Ken!

Another thing. Does anyone actually read those links at the bottom? I'm 
not asking this facetiously. I joined this List probably about 5 months 
ago and have left a fair number of posts. I never, ever, once, looked at 
anything at the bottom. I never even thought about looking at anything 
down there. I would assume that is true for most folks. I did look at 
the links tonight, but am too far behind to click on them right now.
