But I wanted to put it back on, and I wanted to encourage you to join the discussion... Check out the comments under the first posting! *** Nothing like immediately being humbled! I just found Pat Allen's home page and blog. Wow... check it out and be inspired! Pat Allen's web page Pat Allen's blog
