KIT, Sorry you have to work so hard, sounds like you have been putting in a lot of time. I know YOUR joking, but there are morons around here that take such statements to heart. It would tickle you to death to know just how I made the money that enabled me to retire at age 53 in a position where I will not have to worry about money unless I live past the age of 99. But I'll never tell. Really, I'm legally forbidden to tell ANYONE that story. But it's a great one!
