Erik,

>Since I was only ever in this for the MVP award in the first place, I have no more reason to stay and answer questions.

Next!

>I hope that the award is a good sign that my contributions are starting to catch up with all of the knowledge I have gained here.

Then you must be a *really* smart guy if your voluminous contributions here don't measure up to what you've learned!

Thanks for all the consistent, helpful and accurate advice. You are an asset to the community. Now don't start depreciating or deprecating yourself.

(Funny -- I just looked up "deprecate" in the dictionary to be sure I wasn't insulting you, and here is the example they gave: 'He deprecated his own contribution'. Right on target!)
