Geo,

>For anyone who has noted his absence and/or lack of posts, he privately told me some time ago that he's been extremely busy since about the beginning of December (as I recall).

I was hit with the same affliction, which explains the significant drop in my posting count since sometime in November. Darn customers -- they're always wanting something. :-)

>He also said that he expected to be back to his previous level of activity here, hopefully, by the end of this month. Of course, if this means we have to put up with the limericks...:-)

Well, it IS Friday ...

A Tribute To JK:

There once was a prolific poster
Whose messages filled UT's hoster.
Then came a hiatus --
We thought, "Does he hate us?"
It's just that his work load's a boaster.
