Sky: thanks for reminding us all. Personally I've grown accustomed (taking for granted maybe?) the courtesy & respect shown on this group. When I've visited some other sites or certain blogs, I've been put off by the snarkiness & competitive attitudes. Certainly we have a great diversity of opinion & experience here and it's all interesting & informative to hear. Hearing well considered arguments on a subject is so refreshing. It's a good bunch, indeed.
