I am baffled how Michael didn't converse with the TOP 50 posters here first. Seems to me like you guys would be my bread and butter here. W/O especially the Top Posters this site loses much. If he chases you guys off or you go elsewhere I will hunt you like a mosquito in a nudists colony. <s> Guess this is 'private ground' (PUTM) not 'holy ground' with new and changing public (BUTM) paths
