Hi newbies, oldbies, and Eurobies!
To the Eurobies, or rather Globies (sorry about the suffix - I'll stop it): I'm particularly grateful for your contributions, especially from those for whom English is a second language (or third, or fourth...). I so admire those who have tamed foreign tongues -- I've been trying for years to tame German but alas, it's taming me.
Chocolates and flowers to you.
