I could've sworn you said almost word for word the same thing a few months(?) ago
in another context. I glad you took Kimber seriously enough to repeat it here. It
makes the list seem like a family with all generations participating for everyone's
mutual benefit. What I also enjoyed was that in this case, you ignored many
immature postings (from several listers) and stepped in souverainly at precisely
the most appropriate moment with a wise and helpful post. Thanks once again, Tony.
