Hi Bob,
Numerous thanks for calling that to my attention, I was wondering what the
expansion might refer to & I forgot to get back & check it out.
That's one of the many beauties of this list, pals can point out the things we
miss.
You wouldn't believe how much I've learned since joining the list in January.
I agree, HJ deserves hat off.
Warmest Christian regards,
Harry
