   Apparently so. An old friend emailed me with a link to another subject we were   
   working on, and I happened to see this enquiry. Haven't been on these boards   
   for years, maybe decades. But it looks like my ID is still working here, so I   
   figured I'd throw in    
   my 2 cents about a subject I actually knew something about. All the best, Arlo
