Thanks to all who have posted. A lot of good replies. I have saved them
all. I won't waste the bandwidth to respond to each message. Add more as you think of them. Having hung around here for as long as I have I can see we are in the summer cycle of questions. You guys need to think about the winter cycle. The dog crap thread always becomes the longest thread. Such much emotion. Colbyt |

Maybe next you could do a query of the most asinine questions asked in
this group, and place yours at the top.... Colbyt wrote: For all the regulars out there. What are the top 25 most repeated questions for this group? If you don't care to do 25 do what you can. If I get enough responses I will try to summarize the results. Colbyt |
