Well Luke, I surely appreciate David's submission of these reports. I perhaps don't have the necessary interest ( may be read as TIME) to go to the MS web site and subscribe to there list. Perhaps I should make the time but since this list usually is on top of it, I'll use those few minutes on something else. I'm surely not the only one here that would miss David's contributions of these bulletins. Ofcourse, that's just my 2 cents worth.
