But other than that I think anything else I can say at this point is fairly redundant...It just keeps revolving back to the same thing over and over and I think I've said all I can say about it...But I did enjoy the discussion immensely! It just seems that so far today I've been going over the same ground I did yesterday...so I guess we've probably pretty much wrapped this one up...Agree? Jim Emerick
