    Well, sign me up. Message to "Cheesehead," Richard, if you hang on out
this listserve long enough, sooner or later your find yourself in the deep
water. It took me a long time to figure this out, for one reason or another.
I'm sorry your own introduction to the deep water came sooner rather than
later. Meanwhile, welcome to Virginia and to the listserv. Stick around,
because so far as I know, no one has actually drown in the deep water, not
yet anyway. LOL!
