Tim- Welcome to the looney bin; I mean, our community list. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference <grin>.
Have a nice fresh banana-macadamia muffin, sir -- normally go with blueberry, but just got back from Kaua'i. (Tradition on the list: we welcome newcomers and console folks having a bad day with fresh muffins, and throw stale or lacquered ones at transgressors. For serious violations, like some of my puns, they bop you over the head with the muffin pan.) -Ben (to most people) -Benny (to Eri*K*a with a K in the UK with Phi*L*ip with one L) explaining that: we used to have an Erica and Erika. She started saying "Erika with a K" in her sig. Then she met Philip from Britain (not Phillip) at DevCon, got married, and moved from NJ to the UK. So, y'see, what we have here with this list is all soap - -- part soap opera, part soapbox <grin>. bb > By the way Ben, we have a newbie here.
