Hi Lou, Yes, definitely remember that call and think we may have worked a 
few times over the years. I am sure there will be some very good info on 
here and will just be a matter of determining if going to be too much 
activity or not, but think will be just fine. There is plenty I don't know 
and no reason to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already experienced 
what I'm trying to do etc. Thanks again for warm welcome my friend. 73, Dave
