John, I've always marveled at your ability to clintch that particular SI handle.
That was because I joined SI in its infancy back in 1996. I'm one of the ones who was given a free lifetime membership, and I've never been asked to pay a dime to SI. Looks like that lifetime membership is about to expire. Heh! I'm not nearly as outspoken as some, because I believe in the old adage that says one learns more when he listens rather than speaks. I learn a great deal of what I need to know by simply listening. But we're here now, and someone else has my damn nick. :-) -g-
