Jim, We all still love ya, not to worry. Hopefully you won't mind my next posting, which will be about "Puddy the Marvelous Weather Predicting Cat". And you think I'm kidding!

I apologize to all for my snarky remarks and will continue to read and accept all "loop" e mails for what they are intended. If I hurt anyone's feelings, I am sorry and accept my lashings as deserved. Jim Elsevier
