Since the OP asked his question in 1997, he's either passed away from food
poisoning or survived his pine cutting board experiences.

Death would explain his recent absence... I've asked some of my on-line
associates (that go back 25 years and more in some cases) to put me on the
notify list if they are ill or pass away. We have met in person at one time
or another but it's mostly common interests and on-line communications that
have kept us in touch.
