   Randy!  Well-remembered and -loved, from RATMM's Golden Age.   
   Although I don't know if *invisible*  *moral* support is gonna hack it.   
   Poor old RATMM may be doomed...   
      
   Judith, de-lurking and also part of the problem.   
      
   I must look my best.  Lay out a fresh sock, will you?
