David, Thanks for this interesting factoid; you can be sure I will add it to my repertoire of trivia. This must explain why the old timers still refer to the electric power company as the "light" company. It also might demonstrate why no submission to this forum should be censored. ANY posting ads to the fullness of this list giving it a measure of chiaroscuro.

As far as unified standards for e-mail, I say to hell with standards! Now, I am going to hop in my van and head out on left side of Highway 61. Rich
