I know. Sorry. I hate to sound like one of the old grumps I constantly rail against, but it WAS boring. Just a bunch of numbers without any really worthwhile information.

I remember a radio talk show host talking about the difference between having a bunch of listeners (good) and a bunch of callers (not necessarily good). He said one of the best shows you could possibly have would be to ask callers to guess a number between one and a hundred. No prize or anything, and no one other than a masochist would listen, but the phones would ring off the hook!

Thanks for the nudge,

Karl Wolz
