Thanks Lloyd,
I realize my last post probably sounded defensive. I hadn't meant it
to. I know you were being your most thorough and informative and I
really appreciated your input. However, I'm glad to get the responses
I got from you and others in the group cuz let's face it, I was
obviously feeling a little self-critical when I wrote it (not really
defensive).
I also want to thank Randy for his comments because I'm afraid I am
in the "vocal overdoer" category. Hence, I'm learning to be quiet
more often from now on.
Thanks all.
DS :-)
