Dave You are being too modest about your contribution. The providing of space and the associated time required to maintain the equipment and keep many of us on track, I believe, not really understood and thus appreciated by many of us who have come to expect a performance level that exceeds many of the "major" portals out in cyberspace. Thank you for allowing me to participate for two of the last three years. I look forward to three plus in the future. Mike
