But I just wanted to make that perfectly plain. I actually enjoyed the exchange Likewise. I'm sure you all know me well enough by now. In fact I can't really recall any instance of malice aforethought on the list.... we're just not like that.

Thanks for your reports. Also, Kevin, are you still slugging it out with the DML tripe? Even though I have built that one, I enjoy your reports as well. This IS a modeling newsgroup, right? Thanks guys! Have Fun!!
