Bernard-

Thanks for the Audiworld forums style response.  I
have been on this list for almost 6 years now, and,
although I post very rarely, I have been helped
through many obstacles.  Additionally, I hope I've
helped a couple people along the way, which is what
I was trying to do with my response.  Thanks again
for dismissing my post as fodder for childish humor.
