Thanks for the sentiment, bestbang. I have been a reader of the forum for quite a while now, and know what you say to be true, with only a few exceptions. Funny thing about this type of written discourse is that the perceived tone of a post may lie more in the perception of the reader, not necessarily as the writer intended. Sometimes, we look to be offended, due to a bad day, fight with wife, or just disagree with another's opinion, we find offense where none is intended. I will try to be careful to avoid any perceived malcontent in my postings.

I appreciate your welcoming me to the forum. Thanks for your input.
