I should not have even ventured into GD today as I did because it took me away from work I should have been doing.
But. I needed a bit of a break, so I posted a couple of responses not really expecting as many replies as I received.

Besides, I am not really an OP Guy, in ten years I posted maybe two dozen OPs, I mostly read and upon rare occasion chime in.
