Michael: Thsnks for the reasoned response. I thought of that solution actually, and it still has merit. I'm starting to get a little nervous though. It's my own darn fault too. The Parkinsaw Chronicle is funny, I think, but I'm a self-proclaimed humorist, and no Dave Barry. In other words I'm a Parkinsonian with a funny bone, not a humorist with PD. Anyway, with all this self-imposed analysis, I may have hoist myself on my own petard: Now I have to deliver. I'm currently thinking about not posting a weekly replay of past Chronicles on PIE, relegating them to the wonderful Sparkle List. Maybe I'll post a comment or two on a ad hoc basis reminding the PIE list of the Parkisaw Chronicle web site whee all the past issues are available for reading off-line. In you haven't already, you're invited to share a cold Levolager at the web site at www.mikeauldridge.com/parknsaw.htm. We thank you for taking the time to share your valuable ideas with us.
