Actually I don't think Bulley started this, I believe I egged him on with a reply attempting to mimic Eric. I just didn't post it to the list, Bulley gets all the credit for that. [Wish I'd thought of it] It was done in the spirit of pure admiration. Eric's posts were usually technically good, as far as I could tell [not very far] and they many times had me laughing hysterically. He was mean spirited, cruel, illiterate, it's true but he did have some bad qualities, too. All in all a pretty darn good curmudgeon. I thought I'd seen him from time to time. I hope so, he seemed to know a bunch of stuff worth knowing, and the list will be a poorer place without him. I mean Bulley did a great job and got the spirit, but, let's face it, there's only one original. Really thought you were getting there with the cheerleader comment. Maybe with a little work... Peace, love and granola Mike
