Nopt bad for a buck i would say Regards, Stan I thought that was too obvious to need to say. I read a little resentment in posts like that. I pulled it from change a few years back and thought it was a nice example from circulation. Every post doest have to be a $10,0000 beuaty. Maybe you want to see this instead?
