LOL.....Roy got on to me last night for not posting an actual question on a question and answer site so I thought maybe you were giving me subtle hints. I thought my posts would bring some entertainment to this site but Roy doesn't seem to think it's appropriate and perhaps others don't either. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Ho-Hum! :)
