other don, i'm alive and well thank you. just didn't wanna get scorched in the recent flame wars. first time i've ever been ashamed of this community. i refused to lower myself. i really enjoyed your comment: "........" which was very well-stated and quite appropriate. my sentiments exactly! nuff said? thanks again for your loving thoughts. that's more like the loving forum that i prefer to remember. so common courtesy and mutual respect are not totally dead. thanks for renewing my faith in my friends, don.
