I must be loosing it!! After I suggested you might be interested in the group, I thought I read a response from you that said you had no interest in it. I didn't write more......the response was short and sweet, and seemed clear. Now I wonder what the heck I read...........or misread as the case seems to be <laugh> I did see your introduction there............I think you'll enjoy it a great deal.
