Murray,

You are one of the reasons this list is of interest to me!  I personally
don't have the time to research at the level you do, so I am grateful to the
nth degree for your commitment and fortitude.  In my view, you are EXACTLY
what this list says it is about:  exchanging information!

Bless you Murray, for being selfless and generous.

Marla
