Hi Folks,
Sorry for the delayed response as I've been quite busy lately.
Let me start by thanking my good friend Pete for posting this thread. And you were right - thos last few points always seem to be the hardest. Oh & don't forget to award Merijn some points for the stats & graph.
Stefan - Thank you, I'm honored to join your ranks.
Clay - Thanks for the warm welcome. I just hope I can live up to the standard you set.
Geoff - Appreciate it. You know, perseverence can also be viewed a boneheaded stubbornness ;~))
Dave & Ganesh - Thanks loads
Merijn - What can I say? You da man with all you do for us here in the forum. Thank you very, very much.
Patrick - Kind words from a good friend are always nice to receive. I look forward to actually meeting you face-to-face someday. Hopefully we can get together in Chi'town.
Anil - Thanks
Jean-Luc - That'll be more like years & not months. Probably a couple at the pace I'm on. And I have a feeling Dan will come up with new headgear I'd bet.
SEP - And I as well. Thanks
JP - OK we're waiting on you now. Let's move it along. And Yes I'm sure Pete & I will throw a few not so mild parties. Life's pretty dull without an occasional blowout.
