Good point Sammyj.  Forced thank yous aren't really the answer to me.  I 
encourage thank yous, but remind myself and parents that sometimes the thank 
you doesn't have to come from their lips if it's obvious from their eyes.  
Just my 2 sense.

  For what it's worth, i was gone for a bit, but it's great to be back on 
this list.  Missed some of you folks, and to those who sent me private e 
mails saying you noticed my absence, :o).....thanks for noticing.  It's nice 
to be back.  Hope to be helping out in any way that I can.  Larry, a quick 
thank you to you and staff for providing this excellent forum.
