It is definitely not an attack on you, Phibo.  Don't take it personally.  If
you're every in the Denver, Colorado area and want to get together to

Exactly.  Tell everyone what you've tried so they don't spend time telling
you to try stuff you already did.  We also don't spend time reading it.

The more info everyone gets, the more likely you are to get a quick and

Good luck and don't be afraid to ask a good question :-),
